if you can afford it as a first guitar.

SGs seem to have nice low actions[string height low=easier to fret] generally,great necks and are damn fine instruments.

Their scale length (all Gibsons) means the strings are less "tense" than a Fender/Squier and easier to bend.

But us "old fogies" may say it's better start off with a clunker ,as :

A.) Having a guitar which is tough to play strenghtens the hands [and builds character].

B.) You have more money for amps/leads etc

C.) We had to start on cheapies -why should beginners have all the luck these days. :D

As for Amps the new little Marshall MGIII series look quite good.



Accuracy,you say? hmm interesting concept..
