Any Guitar players out there....?

I've been eyeing the 61 SG Reissue for a while now at Sweetwater. If you haven't checked out that site, it's awesome. They have great deals on guitars. Does anyone have any info on the 61 Reissue? Anyone have or play an SG....? I don't want a les paul, to heavy....The 61 looks sweet, SG's are my favorite guitar. I love Classic Rock, it's definitely good for that genre, and more... I also need a cheap amp for the house, not a pignose, and not Marshall stacks either...

Sweetwater has some decent looking small amps for about 200.00 or so..

I also have to convince SWMBO. There's no way I can say it's a free sample...or I'm sharpening it for someone....
