## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to epiphone les paul special ii**
A: The Epiphone SG Special, and Les Paul Special II have identical electronics, The main difference is the body style. The LP has a thicker depth, single cutaway, and is somewhat heavier, and the SG has a double cutaway thin body, that is lighter in weight, with better fret access. The tone is similar, due to the double coil, or "humbucker" pickups.

**Q: Is this full size?**
A: Yes, full size, 24 3/4" scale length.

**Q: can you put a wammy bar?  how?**
A: The Deusenberg Les Trem II replaces the stop bar and works very well. It comes with the appropriate metric studs and costs around $100.

**Q: My brother has the les paul ii I want to get the sg for my first guitar is this diffrent to the les paul ii**
A: Definitely a big difference. I like the feel and weight of the SG and SG special.  I like the SG special as a starter guitar. many people complain that the SG special won't stay in tune. I have not experienced that.
