Ibanez RG3120 VS GIBSON SG

[RG3120]

I am currently can not make up mind either get rid of my rg3120 and get a gibson sg either a standard or a 61, what u guys think? which one is easier to play up frets?

You need both of these (the RG3120 and the '61 SG RI), so start saving for the Gibson and play the RG in the meantime.

I would keep the 3120 and pick up a faded sg.
I was going to buy a standard and I tried the faded on the advice of the salesman (who is also a friend) and my set up guy.
Its a really great guitar and its a great price for it. You can probably pick a new one up for under $600.

the faded series is great, i have a faded LP special thats just awesome, i love the flat top, personally i never liked the standard curved top paul

Apple VS orange.

On your second question, the SG has the best high fret access of any guitar known to man but it only has 22 frets.

yeah and if u think about it the rg would be very easey to play at 22th fret too but it has 2 more. so its kinda better

I think you'd get depressed pretty soon after getting rid of that RG for a SG. I've got a bunch of H-S-H locking trem equiped guitars and a SG standard. The SG feels so outdated compared to the modern militia. Every single note needs just a bit more attention...high note access is very good, the string tension is really low, but you're picking hand is way too far to the left. The Jem/RG shape and ergonomics are PERFECT. Also the SG lacks pure power compared to a shred-like axe. Nice sweet tone, though. And ubercool looks, ofcourse.
