I always play SGs for a quick jam because they are some of lightest guitars ever and they don't sound bad at all. Though I don't particularly love the shape of the guitar, it makes it easier to play sitting down. Les Pauls have a better overall sound and much more sustain but they are some of the heaviest guitars.
The action on every Les Paul feels very smooth which makes your left hand play very easily. Its not the easiest to play one sitting down but its definitely possible. You just won't be as relaxed.
Obviously, depending on what specs your particular guitar has it will sound very different from others and will vary the cost. On average, Gibson Les Pauls go for thousands whereas SGs go for hundreds. Just pick them out in a guitar shop and see which one you like best Good luck.
My brother owned a white SG. Beautiful guitar and he said that the tone on that sucker was wonderful. One day, at a part, someone sat on the neck and broke it.It was a neck-thru body so incredible hard to fix.
My parents had it fixed for him but it would never stay in tune. Pros - killer tone and played great Cons - can't be fixed if some drunk guy at a party breaks the neck.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
