But we're starting to name everyone who's ever used an SG, as opposed to people who regularly use them. There are surprisingly few people who use an SG as their "main" guitar.

The only one who hasn't been mentioned that I can think of is Graham Oliver of Saxon :twisted: :)

:lol: :lol: I did think of him (the white SG with a painting of Hendrix on it!). But I'd done so many "Oh, and...." posts I was a bit embarrassed to do another one! :oops:

I've always felt that with a middle name of Angus, I should own an SG :) but since the sad demise of my 70s SG I haven't looked at another one. Not sure why really...

Must admit I'd forgotten that story. Truly distressing!

I'm trying to find pictures of some strange SG carnage. One of my mates had his SG fall on top of his Les Paul. Amazingly (mind-defyingly so...) the impact cleft the LP in twain, but the SG survived totally unmarked*

*relatively speaking. he's a harsh man on his guitars...

I can't think of a name right now, but there are a lot of Girls bands where an SG is being use....Allison Roberts from the Donnas, that's one.

Pal Waaktaar plays one (he's in A-ha).

Dweezil Zappa - I think the SG in the photo may even be the one that Frank played.

Frank Zappa played a brown SG with 2 additional frets added (if I remember correctly)

Tom Linton from Jimmy Eat World was using an SG for all but a couple of songs when I seen them last night.

Is it the legacy of the les paul overshadowing the sg? do too many people just think 'AC/DC' when they see an SG? i know i used to...

I dunno, I think more of Black Sabbath when I see an SG.

Same here. I am the biggest Iommi fan that I know tho, so that may have summat to do with it :lol:

Daron Malakian from SOAD has been using SG's for a few years now but he doesn't have that brutal sound like he used to and I liked that!
