I am planning to buy a Gibson SG this summer. I've been playing a tele for about a year and I am used to playing it. When i go to try out the SG won't it feel wierd because I used to the tele. Then how am I suppost to know wether or not I like the guitars feel. Is there any solution to this. Please Help!
The solution is to play around with it for about an hour in the store and then make up your mind if you like it or not. And an SG is just a pleasure to play.

The guitarist from Clutch goes back and forth between a Tele and an SG, I'm sure you can too. Both have great tones.

I saw a hardcore fest this weekend- I was amazed at the amount of Tele's I saw ripping it up. A lot of them were modified to have humbuckers, or shipped with stock ones, but they were a definate presance. Other than I saw a lot of Les Pauls and SG's. Of course a few off brands, odds and ends... an ESP Tele copy, you know how it works.

you can get a hot rails pickup that will fit in the bridge cavity of your tele. Also, you can get bridge plates that will accomodate humbuckers- then have it set up with a coil tap so you can still get a single coil sound. Though it won't sound like it does now. Have you checked under your pickguard? Their may all ready be loads of room for a neck humbucker.
