I'm having a bit of a hard time digging my SG. Neck seems WAAAAAAY to wide, even for my larger-than-average hands. I do like the tone and I'm wondering if a Flying V or Explorer will get me the same awesome Gibson sound without needing to buckle my hand around a redwood. Any input?

I have about 17 cowboy hats, 35 ball caps, and dozens of others (fedoras, skullcaps,etc). Bald guitar dudes living in the desert can't leave home without em.  Disagree though re the ball cap thing. I love a low hanging ball cap brim while I'm singing.... If drunk it helps orient my face to the microphone.

Edit: I've also been known to sing in a full face chicken mask. Not sure if that equates to a hat...

When you do that try and use your own guitar and an identical amp to the one you plan on playing through.

I have changed my pick selection to 1mil+ to force myself to use less right hand pressure. Those mofos go through electric 10s or 11s like butter if you're not careful.

Plus if you like percussive left hand muting (as I do) it's much easier with barre chords.
