I've spent hours comparing these four Gibsons to identify and single out the tonal nuances of these instruments.
I have two SGs, a Standard with 490r/498t, the other with P90s. I have two LP Standards, one has stock 490r/498t pickups, the other has a set of duncans. I don't know what it is.ĭoes anyone else know what I mean or feel the same way? I used the same strings on both (ernie ball 10's) and usually maintained them at the same time and they both had roughly the same set up. They sound roughly the same when it comes to distorted riffs and power chords, but when your playing something acoustic sounding like ramble the SG just sounds so balanced and beautiful. I can't put my finger on it exactly, but there was just nothing about it that really drew me to it like the tone of my SG. But as far as tone goes I was never too drawn to my LP. Everyone is right, the LP has more sustain but the SG has nice sustain, especially considering its size and weight. I own an SG Standard and used to own a Les Paul Standard and I'm at my local guitar center probably once a week just playing around with what they have and am always picking up different SGs and LPs and honestly I have never agreed with everyone's comparison. It seems that 99% of people will that the Les Paul has a more refined, creamier sound and the SG has more "bite", whatever that means.
