My B-day's coming up and my parents have decided to buy me a guitar. I've played acoustic for a year-year and a half but the electric aspect of guitars is new to me.
I went to one of the (fairly) local guitar shops and played a few, didn’t see many I liked; only a few shecter's caught my eye. Then I saw the rack of Gibson SG's and tried one, I fell in love with it on the spot. I came here and looked around and found there was lots of love for the SG's here on this forum, I then went on eBay to price on out but I realized I have no idea what I'm looking for.
Am I better off buying one of the '05 '06 models from the store for ~$900 or should I eBay for a used one?
What should I be looking for in a SG? Any years that they were particularly good?
