How you gonna have an article about the Gibson SG and not mention Sister Rosetta Tharpe? One of you nerds needs to fix this — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.12.231.107 (talk) 14:54, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Doesn't the SG have a reputation as being the guitar of choice for the smaller player? I know Angus Young and Tanya Donelly are both big fans of it, and both are small people. -- John Fader 16:08, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The SG does tend to be used by smaller people because it's much lighter in weight than the Les Paul, but still has the distinctive Gibson sound. The neck scale is also the smaller 24.75" scale (as opposed to 25.5" on Fenders and other guitars) which is also easier to play for people with smaller hands. -- Happydog
Well, a lightweight guitar is a big convenience for someone of any size. I mean would you rather (saying they sound the same) be playing 7 or 14 lb guitar? - TMFSG
