Before reading this I've been trying to keep it simple but get the feeling the tangent I'm going on is inevitable.

Well I considered what my roots as a guitarist were. I've grown up with Gibsons and Fenders. My dad's got a Fender Strat and an Ephiphone Les Paul. I've already got a Fender and a Squier (both Strats) so I decided I could use a change of sound and feel. Thus Gibson came into play. The experience I've had with a Les Paul showed me that the body was really heavy and was a pain to play when sitting down (still fun to play though mind you) where as the SG isn't so heavy in the body. I also considered my personality and style and felt that the SG had that little edge towards me than the Les Paul. And I just think the SG looks cool as hell. Sooner or later I'm gonna get a Les Paul, I'm sure of it, the way I collect gear. My next instrument is probably gonna be a Carvin 5-string bass as my Squier P-bass has had it. The input jack is junky and the pickguard won't stay screwed down in some spots. It's ready to retire. After that probably an upgrade in amps. But first I need to move out of my mom's basement.
