I have this argument with my friend everyday, i have an sg \'61 reissue, and he has a clapton strat. The neck on the sg \'61 is a slim taper, and is a lot skinner than a les paul or most gibson styles. Compared to the sg the strat feels like a block of wood, heavy, and the bolt on neck just kills it. Tone-wise though i believe there are pros and cons of both, but im baised towards an sg, always!
