The Gibson V has the same sort of problem ant the neck joint as the SG does. The pickup pocket is so close the the end of the body that there is not much wood to support the stress. My V is a neck-through design, which works much better. I don't think you will find any at your local music shops. It's an old Odyssey Custom. The luthier died alnost 30 years ago.

If you get the Gibson, be careful with it. Don't ever drop it. And your first neck-bend will be your last one.
