  Great video Brother. I just bought the 61 SG and Love it. Mine weighs 6.4 lbs. us old guys need the lighter weight.

  The thing about the location of the neck pickup was really interesting, thanks

  The pickups on the guitars are spaced differently. On the SG the bridge pickup is slightly closer to the bridge, and the gap between the bridge pickup and neck pick up is less, so the neck pickup is closer to the bridge, even more so, than the LPs, which probably accounts for the LP having more bass end in the neck pickup, and less noticeable difference in the bridge pickup.

  Having come from the Strat universe, when I strap on my Les Paul, I notice that when I reach for the campfire chords with my fretting hand, they're in almost exactly the same place as my strat when standing up. Sitting down, not much different. It doesn't make me love - or play, my SH any less. Very convenient if you're a strat player buying your first Gibson. And I have noticed that the neck pickup on my SG is farther from the 12th fret than on the SG. Notice that an SG Custom has all three pickups pushed up against one another whereas a three pickup LP has spaces in between.

  Phenomenal slide playing! Also, thanks for a super informative comparison of 2 great guitars. I watched your vid yesterday, and today I got a call from my local music store (my repaired keyboard was ready for pick up). They just happened to have  a used SG at a great price. Of course I had to compare it to several new SG's and a bunch of LP's. But I kept coming back to the SG, and finally walked out with it. It really helped to have all your comments running through my head. THX +++
