SG ?

[FlaGuitars]

I seen PRS as the perfect combination of a Les Paul and Strat.
Then McCarty as PRS LesPaul
Silver Sky as PRS Strat
Myles Kennedy as PRS Tele

need and SG...my Sananta is kinda close but this is PRS.......the other mentioned guitars are not close....they are better.

The Santana is an evolution of the SG .. if you look at Carlos ' instruments over the years the majority have the same form.
That being said it would be nice to see an all mahogany thinline version similar to the SG , with P90's .. a nice woodstock tribute..

S2 or other 22 fret Miras will get you close. Same guitar recipe as an SG.

The PRS that I have that sounds the closest to my SG is my core Starla. That all mahogany guitar has that SG midrange grunt to it that my SG has.

Mira or Thinline

 

[Family Man]

S2 594 Thinline is the closest thing to an SG that I've found. I love mine enough that I've got two nearly identical ones. They're my favorite guitars. Maybe you just need an SG, but if you are determined to stay with PRS, then the S2 594 Thinline is the closest thing.

Look in the Mira...

if course if I must play an SG , I grab this 24 fret ebony board 1/2" maple caped beauty

I have a Gibson SG Standard..in their new Siver Mist color. Main thing I would like to see in PRS version is the symmetrical cutaways. The Santana cut aways are not as off set at normal PRS shape so my reasoning for similarity . A thin, one piece mahogany body would be cool also. SG is very light guitar. My lightest is PRS Hollowbody then a Danelectro 12 string.. The SG comes in 3rd. That body design is so light my Gibson Les Paul is heavier then my Ephiphone SG Double Neck. Big surprise.

Get ya self one oh these

If you're looking for an SG clone but not a PRS or a Gibson, I recommend The Guild Polara...

I guess the key here is "which SG." If you're talking about an SG Standard with Classic 57 pickups, an all-mahogany 22 fret PRS with 57/08 pickups will get you darn close.

My Core Mira was pretty close to an SG. I’m no SG expert, but I’ve had this one since 1967, it it’s got a tonality I’m pretty familiar with despite the P90s.

It’s seen a lot of gigs over the years. My son has it at the moment.

Before the Mira, you had the Cu22 Standard. All mahogany double cutaway.
McCarty Soapbar could get you in that ballpark too, but they all have the 25” scale
length which is too “tight” /polite for that looser vibey SG thing. And the thicker bodies can make for a slightly woolier darker tone.

Swop out the Duncan p90s for something less hot/hifi, possibly some lower winds, and you’ll get closer to that SG Special tone.

I’d love it if PRS did a run of solid color 594 “Standards” with solid mahogany body and soapbars. I’d be an easy target for one of those! I am sure the no-bedazzled maple top, = the less interest there is in such a thing.

Don’t tell me they have these or I am gonna get throttled at home.

S2 thinline is the SG of PRS.. all hog 24.594

Nice! I think we have that rug too....or your guitar is in my dining room...

I Am Still Waiting On The PRS Explorer And V Models To Come Out.

I have a 2021 SG Special that I bought new in October of 2022. Put some Lollar P90's in it and also installed a Music City bridge. Love it!! It's a Telecaster on steroids! For me it was one of those rare "dream guitars" so I bought one.
