MGR/Doug Pullar « Westfield SG »
Published on 07/10/04 at 15:00I acquired the sg as a 13th birthday present from my dad. Before that I owned a strat which I loved. The main reason I chose the sg when my dad said I could have any guitar I wanted a part from a p.r.s. He took me to the London Guitar Show with my best mate James Casson and that basically was the guitar I chose. Why did I choose it? Well there are no simple reasons. For starters my two heroes have them Derrick Wibly (the singer in sum41) and I have been told that the legendary Kurt Cobain owned one. I quite simply loved the cherry red when I saw it and the shape was so cool its not true. And guess what I am getting next year? The same guitar in either black, white or I might get Gibson to custom make a clear one if they dont already do one.
Well what I like about it is easy. The colour is perfect for a rock guitar, the shape is perfect and then there are the tunning pegs which blow me away as you probably know instead of being six in a row they are three on the top and three on the bottom. Which I know a lot of guitars have but that doesn't mean I dont love and shouldn't love it. What else do I like erm... The pick ups look pretty cool. Which ever way you cut it, it has to be when you turn up some where to have a band practise or any where like that and every one gets out there strats and pasiffica's and get to pull out an sg and every one is like "Wow Doug when you have finished do whatever you are doing can I have a really quick go please, please, please"
The only thing that I would say is that if you spend most of your time playing chords on it test it hourly before you buy one cause ten out of ten times I will still pick my strat to plays chords. But when it comes to power chords and solos I prefer the sg. It is so good that a vibrato sounds better when played on a strat.
The construction of the sg is amazing when I got my strat I spent hours adjusting every aspect to how I wanted it but when I bought my sg it was simply perfect. Since I bought got it I havent even had to tighten a screw anywhere on it.
It is a great guitar i can see why all legends have one i Would just like to say thanks to Westfield for making such a great guitar and to my Dad a mate James for helping me choose it. O yer and BUY ONE !!!
