There's an SG-2 on Reverb in the UK that I am sorely tempted by. How do they compare to Jags/JM's in terms of tone and playability?

playabilitie is ubercool ,the neck is a little more thick than av65 (1 mm more or less) the sound is more jazzmaster than jag but different(hard to describe ,clearer and gritter too)),the confort is a pleasure ,the trem is better than fender trem
as i love my jazz i can totally take the yamaha on stage instead of my jazzmaster ,but i don t du to risk of breaking ,or stole then it stay at home for my guilty pleasure

AH man, tempting. I might have to see if I can swing by if I'm in Leeds at all over the next couple of months and try it out. Doesn't have a trem arm with it though annoyingly... doesn't someone on here make them?

^Superaxe is your man to see about the trem. Ludo's description is very good btw, I'd have said pretty much the same.

That's good to know...

Anyone else got any experiences with them that they care to share? I have 2 Jags and a JM but have always been interested in these...
