Es335, Les paul, or Sg?

[jclapt38]

Hey guys tryn to decide on a gibson, wich of these three do you prefer, Es335, Les paul, Or Sg?

I can't comment on the 335, having never played one. I own an SG andam planning to buy a Les Paul, but I'd go for the SG first. High bends (20/21/22nd fret) are easier as it's a double cutaway. smileys/smiley2.gif


It's up to personal taste though - they're both legendary guitars !

ive played a 335 and loved it. Nice action, good feel to it.

[jclapt38]

lol, i love the feel of the sg, but i like the bluesy sound of the 335, and les pauls are just incredible, i just cant decide

[coreybyrnes]

it depends on what style you're playing and what tone you're going for... each of the three guitars have a different sound in my opinion...

[smalltownrockst]

SG's? not worth the money...

335?...yeah, some lovely bluesy tones coming out and alot comfier to play than an SG.

Les Paul?... thats got to be the one you buy.

is money no object?

[jclapt38]

um....... not really, since wichever one i decide on will be a used one that i get a good deal on. however im not looking to drop 1,200 on one of um.

i would stay away from the sg, in my opinion it limits style a little

[cneill]

personally, i don't like the sg. i agree that it's notworth the price.the 335 has much richer tone, les paul - can't go wrong.

I've been playing a Gibson ES-135 for years. They're wonderful. I tried a 335 for a while but just felt better with a 135. Plus you'll have a better time of making your own tone instead of playing (or being caught in) the Paul or SG sound.


just the take of a newbie.
