yo dude Im thinking of getting this guitar, I already have a gibson sg but does suit my metal stuff. I've heard that this guitar is top heavy when standing and the neck tends to dip down due to the strap button location on the back of the horn. I was just wondering if this is a real issue or not. Lemme know your opinion...thanks in advance
@megametalmaestro The only reason it won't play metal well is the pickups, put emg's or blackouts...or if you prefer passive some Dimarzio's, Seymour Duncan, or bareknuckles....and bam! heavy metal machine :p....but if its a Gibson you should probably keep it stock, you payed good money for that. As for the neck dipping, its a common issue in SG shaped guitars because of the light body and strap button location, I have an epi g-400 and it's quite neck heavy... but quickly got used to it :p.
Nice cover man. I think you're a little bit out of sync or the speed may be sloppy. Very good other than that. And that's one nice lookin' SG.
Keep it up.

@megametalmaestro I have no idea dude. I mean, I listen to a couple bands that play SGs, I don't prefer them however.
