He's about 5'7 right now, so,taller than Angus. He likes the look of SGs, because he's seen 'em in The Who concert footage (yes, yet another way that I've warped my children's adolescence, Who & Green Day concert videos).
He's never played an SG & I didn't know Epiphone made them too, so it looks like some shopping & tryouts are in order.
Thanks, gentlemen! Appreciate the advice & link.
