Ohmigodohmigodohmigod!


DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN.

You guys know how I was intending on spending the money I raise from this blog on a Les Paul?

Right?

WRONG!

I know, Les Pauls are fantastic guitars and they are one of the best looking types I've ever laid eyes upon. But following my recent addiction to rock band AC/DC, I've become hooked on another of Gibson's masterpieces - the SG.

Oh, yes. Angus Young, lead guitarist of AC/DC, is famous for his SG and his prestigious skill at playing it. It can achieve a variety of sounds - like AC/DC's more bluesy stuff, such as "Stiff Upper Lip", to their famous crunchy distortion sounds - "Whole Lotta Rosie" and the blazing solos that occur - "Back In Black". I know, I know, the Les Paul can achieve this as well. And the Les Paul, a lot of people might argue, is better looking too. Well, my outlook on life has changed over the past months, since I started this - Les Pauls are a portrayal of perfection, cleanliness and holiness. Hence the reason Jimmy Page plays it - Led Zeppelin are the liquid form of music, so elegant and harmonic. Right up until AC/DC smashes right into the delicate sheet of paper that is Led Zep's music and Angus tears up a killer riff on his destructive, demonic and eeeevilllll SG, with an ebony finish, and ends up literally making everything explode but himself and his guitar.

And for those of you who do not know what an SG looks like:
That's my current definition of beauty. It's not the same type of beauty as a lovely and curvy Les Paul - look at this thing. You could spear someone's eye with those points for Christ's sake! It's awesome! I'd like to say quickly that I'm not a satanist and the only reason I find this beautiful is because... well, I just do. Is that an issue?

Plus, it's cheaper (not meaning it's worse, don't forget) and it means I'll be ready to grab it a.s.a.p! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
