Aaargh, I own a nice single coil Ibanez guitar,
but I love to play the
SG's of friends :). The fingerboard of a SG is close to a classical
guitar, the mechanics are bad, but the "rest" is amazing. It's my
favourite guitar, just because I grow up as a musician by imitating
Jimi, I bought this single coil Ibanez. Today I would buy a SG :).
As the owner of a 1970 SG I can say that the fingerboard doesn't feel at
all like the one from a classical guitar. Also the mechanics of my SG
are in pretty good shape for a guitar of 44 years old. Just to make
clear that not every SG has the same fingerboard or bad mechanics. And
then I'm not talking about how different they can sound. My SG has P90's
but I've owned one with humbuckers too which sounded completely
different. And then I almost forget the player. Robby Krieger sounds
completely different than say Tony Iommi or Angus Young.
On-topic, I think the same way about DAW's. I consider generalizing a vice.

I have to disagree also, SG is not at all like a classical guitar, no
more and no less than a Strat, Les Paul or Ibanez fingerboard. Why do
you think SG fingerboard is like a classical fingerboard? The
mechanics are probably not too different from a Les Paul's, it may
depend on the year of year issue, too.

Yesno ;), the SGs fingerboard is not equal, but more flat like a
fingerboard of a classical guitar.

From all the electric guitars I own and have owned the SG does not have
the flattest fingerboard. I think my Telecaster with its maple neck has
a flatter fingerboard. And I used to own a Rickenbacker 620 (of which I
very much regret I sold it even thought I bought an SG from that money)
and that one had the flattest fingerboard I've ever encountered on an
electric guitar.

My SG happens to be equipped with a Bigsby tremelo. Awesome piece of
equipment but you need to know how to use it ;)
