I have seen Joe play an SG. Couldn't find the video though.

I remember Joe saying that his first "real" guitar was an SG.

Joe played what appears to be an SG at the Guitar Town Festival in Colorado in 2006. Video can be found here:

Just click on "Sunday's All-Star Jam".

Thanks! I could tell it was Joe playing before they even showed him smile The guy next to Joe isn't bad either.

Technique doesn't come into it. I deal with emotions.

Re: Les Pauls

Wasn't that an Esquire that Joe was playing? I'll have to take another look.

I'll see if I can find the interview.  I was (mis?)quoting him.  I thought it was with Paul Jones Q & A.  I could be wrong...

Well form the back of this months guitarist it says Joe got the Chiquita when he was 4 (as i'm sure most of you have read before big_smile) but it also says he got a Gibson SG when he was 6. I was rather surprised to read that because i've never heard Joe talk about SG's, which is unfortunate as i play one smile Maybe he didn't like it and never played one again lol.

Matt

I'm a poor guitarist.  I have an SG I like a lot, as does my son.  My bother has an LP Custom that's easier to play for some things.  When I asked him why, he said something about the neck being shorter,  strings slightly "looser" and easier to bend,  and a coupla other things I don't remember...oh yeah switch location...what else.  TONE!  yeah that was it.

I just thought it was the difference between a "cheaper" guitar and a CUSTOM that's worth more than my car. lol
