Ok so as some of you know I just recently picked up the electric guitar (ive been playing for about a month) well I bought a Epiphone Sg Limited Edition sg-400 i paid $399 for it (brand new) with a hardshell case. I love the guitar, its very very beautiful it sounds wonderful, butttttttt it just feels super awkward in my hands, as well as standing up, the neck just throws me off soooooo much. So I was wondering about trying to trade it for or in on a epiphone les paul, what does everyone think? Also how much do u think guitar center would do in a on a trade in or do they even do that?

Its not that the neck isnt comfy, its perfectly fine when im sitting down, but as soon as i stand up because its so heavy i have to hold it up at the same time to keep it from wanting to lean forward

yeah i know what your saying about it leaning forward my epi les paul does the same thing when i stand...what i try to do is angle the neck up more and put the body down and it usually does it for me but also take into the fact that you are just learning the guitar i know i didn't play standing till almost a year into playing for the reason i just wasn't comfortable yet...but yeah i would go play some other ones and see which ones don't lean if that is something you really want

First of all, GC won't give you near what you can sell it for. Put it on Craigslist....or even evilbay if you have to. You should get at least 75%. Then go to
You should be able to easily pick out a comfortable guitar....

That's always the issue with SG's. The body is about 1/4" thick and the neck join is wayyyyy up there. So balance on a strap is problematic. Not my favorite design.
