64Firebird said:SG's and LP's don't have neck thru body. They have set necks. If you want neck thru body you'll need to look at something like a Firebird.
How much did you want to spend?

Well, Gibson SG's don't have neck through body, even though that's the way they were originally designed.

Hey Guitarman, I'm not beating you up but Gibson SG's were never designed as 'neck-through-body'. When the original Les Pauls were revamped with the non SG shape double cutaway, and then the SG shape, they always had a heel joint.
It wasn't until the thinlines (e.g ES-335 in 1958) that a solid block of wood ran all the way through a Gibson electric guitar - and the Firebird range in 1963 were the first Gibson solid body guitars (and basses) to feature 'neck-through-body' with the wings glued on to the outside.
