I'm getting an Sg for my fifteenth birthday. I have an acoustic ibanez, but it really is not for me. a friend told me that an SG produces a good sound, but needs frequent tuning, is this true?

It depends what you buy. I've got a gibson SG, and it's sweet for tuning. My mate has an epiphone SG, and that''s fine too.... No idea what the [insert random cheapo brand name here] version might be like...

The only thing I have against SGs is that they're neck heavy, which I find a bit annoying... but they're nice guitars...

Try before you buy and it'll be fine....

My '62 was such a sad thing for tuning that I got rid of it after a month.

The neck joint was so weak, that tuning one string would change all of the others. With a trem, I might understand, but this was a hardtail! I was always worried about snapping the neck off of the body.

The new ones have more wood between the neck and the pickup, but I'll never own another SG.

If you can get a good SG the're probably great ( awkward to play though )
I had an old one and it was a Horror !
I'll never buy another
