Should I trade my SG for a Les Paul?

Les Pauls are the new york yankees of guitars, everywhere you go you see them. go for the sg

I wouldn't trade an SG for a les paul.
The only Gibson that's more versatile than an SG is the 335/345.

Right now im using a Fender amp. As for tone, i play slide, and have been really dissapointed in the SG's sound on glass, metal and ceramic slides. The standard gibson pickups on it arent very good at all. I'm definately going for the LP now after some suggestions.

Lol.. thats kinda funny, because (arguably) two best slide guitar players in the world both play SG's, Duane Allman of course, and his successor in the allman bros Derek Trucks (also has his own band, he is a relative of Butch Trucks of the original Allman bros.)
Interesting. I love my SG for jazz work (take five sounds great on it) and metal (sabbath on an SG is the way it was meant to be played.)

i love les pauls, personally they are my favorite shape. i have a prs "single cut" pr elaw suit that is awesome, i love it. its thinner than the usual les paul as it is a "single cut" so its lighter. i proper love it.

but i have a jackson and a pimped out pacifica, plus an acoustic, round back electro and spanish.

i would say go with how you feel. ive never bought a guitar i havn't played cus you never know if your gonna like it so go with your gut. maybe do a trade for a month or so and see how you get on.

both are iconic guitars.

Languedoc custom semi-hollows are where its at.

depends on what style of music you play.
