Go with the Gretsch.

if you have ever thought "I want people to think I know nothing about guitar" buy the SG

Get the Gretsch because it will make you a better player. You'll treasure that guitar more than the SG.

Yeah I'm sure Angus Young knows nothing about guitar, fucking snob.

SG

It's s about 5000x more versatile than the Electromatic, a joy to play and sounds great with almost any style of music.
Oh, and it's cheaper too.

Oh, and people will always think "AC/DC" when they see you with it.
This user doesn't lie though. Just dont get a red or black one maybe.

since you're a pop faggot get the Gretsch, but if you were a badass you'd get the SG

Get the SG. I changed from a Stratocaster to an SG Special and for me it's great because it has a shorter scale and thicker neck for my small frame and gigantic hands.

and what made up thing do you figure people are going to think when they see you with an SG?

how many people in the band? with a semi-hollow you're going to get a ton of bleed if you try to record anything live

why not just be smart and get a tele?

theyll think
oh shit he's gonna kill me! hes gonna beat me to death with that thing! run!

5 ppl in the band

>Indie pop
>Guitarist
Pick one

Which tele would you reccomend to me around 1100 euro and less ?

>hurr durr if you don't play what I like you're not a guitarist

Elitist faggot.

A Strat.

strat is guitar for plebs

agreed tele is perfect for pop.

get a semi hollow tele it will be perfect for your sound.

lol, you're prob a pleb at guitar stfu

For that style of music I'd say get the Gretsch but you're really stuck there until you can get another guitar. I'd say to get a fender since it's kind of in the middle. I have a strat with a hot rails pick up. So that I can still get some decent cleans on the fender pickups and some decent lead tones on the seymour.

I would go sg for versatility but dont let it fall on the headstock. notorious for breaking.

This

>get a semi hollow tele it will be perfect for your sound
Don't listen to this user. Get a solidbody and hollow it out yourself, that's how all the greats do it.

The gretsch will be worth more over time than that mass produced SG.

Well first of all, start playing real music.

Either way, SG

sg

Are those even within the same price range at all? Aren't Gretch's 2k+ versus an SG starting at like 800?

Pic related: muh baby

they are almost same price

OP, this week, I just got a used Ibanez Artcore, which is basically an affordable version of a classic Gretsch......I got it for under $300 with a hard shell case.

I've been gretsch obsessed my whole life but this is a much more sensible purchase right now.

Well no shit, I might have to start shopping around.

And side note, I started on an epiphone SG, which I know is shit to a Gibson, but I could never get over the fact it was so neck heavy it'd hang if I didn't have a hand on it.

Both are useless without heroin and a shotgun. Start with the shotgun first. You can use it to get more heroin.

I think of Derek Trucks when I see an SG. AC/DC sucks

Theoretically you could get both the Artcore AND and SG.

g&l bro

I don't think I've ever seen a double neck IRL.

The Gretsch if you're an indie band, SG is for more mainstream

same

>buying a Gibson in 2016

Literally this. Les paul is overrated and SG only makes your seem like an ACDC coverband. If you want to make your own image and not be seen as some modern versioin of slash or angus young get a different guitar.

>been a guitarist in my shitty punk band for 2 years now

>not making your own guitar
One day...

idk about anything asides from the looks.

If your going a harder rock type thing get the sg

softer go gresch

>he thinks the SG is good for hard rock
Only fags play hard music on obvious guitars. There's nothing heavier than playing evil fucking black metal on a Hello Kitty strat.

I bet you listen to Staind and Avenged Sevenfold. Finger your lil 14 yr old asshole to Skillet's shitty new album somewhere else.

I got a hollow body for one simple reason....because I want to practice the electric guitar unplugged, without having to practice on an acoustic guitar. I want to own just one guitar.

Merry Christmas, Robert.

Gretsch

Gretsch any day of the week in this matchup

this is the real right answer for clean pop sound. Do you even single coil?

Im not Robert :(

u are a failure.
having both acoustic and leccy allows you to better explore tonal differences, if you don't want this just kill yourself

>implying you can't practice on an unplugged solidbody

ok you got me on that one

If you really can't decide between these two, I would say a Les Paul is a good middle ground.

kek

>I want to own just one guitar.
You are stupid. If you want to call yourself a guitarist you should own:
>nylon string acoustic (classical)
>steel string acoustic
>single-coil solidbody
>humbucker solidbody
>semi-hollow with whatever pickups you prefer

Get the gretsch and learn some jazz guitar or you are a worthless piece of shit.

"Indie pop/rock guitarist" what a fuckin' asshole

fat strat you fucking faggot

Holo smiles on your efforts.

go to anymusicshop usa nerd

I want to buy Gretsch only because of Alex Trimle of Two Door Cinema club

Yeah in theory.

Until you get up on stage in front of a crowd of raging metalheads with your hello kitty guitar.

>ac/dc
>not black sabbath

Fuck outta here.

Go with music lessons from a real teacher

I taught myself and I'm probably better than you.

>self taught
>good
hahaha oh user
Guitar is for scrubs anyway, learn a real instrument

>is user
>plays the skinflute
>"i-its not gay! It's a *real* instrument"

Riiiight...........Merry Christmas Robert.

Those aren't for Pop duties.

You're better off with a tele.

So I am better than you. Thanks for confirming.

Post a pic of yourself and we'll help you decide.

We need to know how much of a faggot you are.

why ask Sup Forums then? it's literally all guys here

just choose whichever one you prefer, or go find some girls to ask which one they like better. the only reason to even get guitars is to get pussy. get pussys opinion

You quite obviously lack the ability to comprehend what you read
Let's hope you can read music better :^)

Fa, La, Sol

Dunno why, but I get the feeling you're kind of an emo.

This is prolly better for ya

>Pic related

No I read it perfectly well.

>guitar is for scrubs

In other words, you suck at it.

>"an" emo
>dean razerback

the fuck are you even trying to convey

You just called user a fag! :o

That's like comparing a Ford Pinto to a Bugatti Veyron.

If you can afford it, it shouldn't even be a question.

Gretsch

Metal > emo

Are you this retarded?

the hills are alive with the sound of faggotry

Lol, you're asking for advice on Sup Forums. What can you expect?

Ok, I'd get the Gibson, unless you're into more bluesy, surfy stuff... SRS

No, guitar is for scrubs who think they are going to be in some type of rock band.
Guitar is for teenage fantasy
Unless you play classical, but even then it is mediocre among real instruments
youtube.com/watch?v=IY0_1LMOTCY

need

The new ones look badass.

MPC Live and Eclipse

Prove you don't suck at guitar then. Nut up or shut up.

>nut up
Oh you ARE a teenager, my bad, continue on

>ac/dc
My first thought is Tony Iommi
If youre indie go with the gretchsh for the electro/autistic combo

>lol ur a teenager
>lol ur a scrub
>damage control damage control damage control

It's a meme for a reason.
It is literally the most versatile guitar 99% of players will ever have access to, and has been used to play literally EVERY style of music.

>most versatile

lol yeah if all you ever need is a strat sound

Man up and get a special tele or strat.

If you really want a gibson then get the les paul studio or a nice PRS.

Gretsch if you're a fag that looks like a 1950s rocker

>superiority complex

>buying a tool for playing music
>worrying first and foremost about resale value.
Pick one.
Besides, an SG can be sold at any music store anywhere. Or in CL, for that matter. People know what it is, and you can sell one pretty easily because of that.
They don't know about the Gretsch, and you'll have a harder time selling one for just that reason.

>No, guitar is for scrubs who think they are going to be in some type of rock band.
>Guitar is for teenage fantasy
You're probably right.
I thought i was going to be a rock star when I started playing at 12.
Now, 20 years later I play occasionally with a few local bands.
Once jammed with Eddie VanHalen and Ritchie Blackmore invites me to his parties.
But, never became a rock star.

Idk if you are retarded or unable to compare prices on internet to find out, both guitars costs the same

Hey, the sound works for EVERYTHING, and you can't even argue that. It's been used literally everywhere.
Country? Check
Pop? Yep
Metal? Uh huh
Disco? You know it
Punk, grunge, psychedelia, prog, klezmer, folk, blues, rock, dance, New Wave, ambient, even classical-a Strat has done it.

What the fuck is skillet
Indie pop is 99% wannabe grunge bands with no skill spitting out bullshit people gobble up because it's not "mainstream"

Wtf is indie pop/rock? Pick a genre. Either way though, the Gretsch
