I love the idea of a lightweight resonant mahogany body and neck but I like to play electric guitar sitting down at home and the neck dive would put me off for sure.
I've always played fender type guitars and love my Squier Classic Vibe Tele but it weighs in at around 9 pounds so is quite heavy and it would be nice to have a Gibson type guitar as well.

There can be a slight neck dive on an SG. Certainly more than a Les Paul which has none. One of the reasons to keep your tuners lightweight. I have no problem with neck dive on either of my SGs. If I left go with my fretting hand the guitar does have a tendency to drop a little but not a lot. So much so I don't even notice it. Depends on the strap I'm using and how much the strap clings to me.
