Angus young of acdc occasionally uses a custom made sg with lightning bolt inlays based on a custom model originally produced by luthier john diggins. Is the lp doublecut the same scale length as a normal lp. Nope same scale 24 34.
When we double that we get 24 and three quarters. The altogether simpler construction made the gibson sg significantly cheaper than its les paul parentwith similar options and tone to the lp but a faster neck devilish looks and lighter body it is little wonder that it caught on. Because the body is clearly shorter then the neck.
Since gibson largely uses the 2475 actually closer to 246 and fender 255 we tend to associate these sounds with those classic makers. To give full access to all 22 frets the neck joint was rather weak and sometimes snapped off.

The width and length of an sg body has changed over the years but here are some dimensions for reference. The guitars construction had one flaw. According to my notes the width of a 1961 sg is 13 12 inches at the widest point and 17 inches long.
The gibson custom shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship quality and sound excellence. Since then young has collaborated with gibson to make the angus young sg which features a custom designed humbucker in the bridge position a 57 classic in the neck position and the lightning bolt inlays.
