Taking the plunge

I dont really see how you can say 'dont consider 42 or 42.5mm' when you have no idea how big his fingers are.

He did actually state that he was finding an SG a bit narrow, and awkward, and that would have been 43mm, so I asusmed that it would have been silly to go any smaller

That extra 0.2mm between the strings makes all the difference, huh?

Yes. To me it does.   Why make life difficult for oneself if you don't need to ?


Anyway, sweet guitar Bradock PI. As you've found, if you play a few, you can find some really nice Epi LP's.

Cool :)

I just know you are going to love it. And if you need any suggestions for new pups.... :D

I am going to spend a few - probably 6 months with it stock and then if I am progressing well I will get it fettled with new BKPs as I did with my wifes daisy rock which is now amazing. I think it is not just the spacing from the nut but the neck thickness and profile which made some feel awkward. The SG neck is thinner and rounder.

Thanks for everyones advice it was really really useful and I smile evrytime I see it on the stand whcih is clearly a good sign.

Roobubba approves.

Good work fella!

Very good sign, it makes you want to pick it up and play with it.

Ok all the talk and shiny guitars - I am going to get a starter instrument. I will be working on the piano still but I have worked out there are times when I am at my PC and have 10 mins here 15 mins there which I can't use for kb but I could use for guitar.

I have biggish thick set hands so I can't start on my wifes daisy rock - so suggestions please for a first instrument budget prolly £200 - £400.

EDIT: I'd just typed in a big list of suggestions and noticed you'd bought something already. Nice one dude :D
