Are you one of those people that is buying their first guitar and thinks they should get a fancy guitar? If not I say Gibson SG because they are really great guitars with a nice rich tone.

Out of the two, I'd choose the SG. But honestly there's a lot of really great guitars out there, and just because a guitar doesn't have a big "Gibson" or "Fender" smacked on the headstock doesn't make them any less good. I bought an Ibanez SZ320 a few months ago and I still can't believe how well it plays. It plays just as good, if not better, than any SG, Strat, or Les Paul that I've ever picked up. It's got absolutely beautiful sustain and tone.

I used to be the same way.
Eventually thought there is a point in which electric has little more to offer, and classical has much, much more.Plus I found I wasn't stuck in a pentatonic box most of the time. I honestly had no idea how far a guitarists abilities could reach, and the conclusion is far greater than what has been done on the electric guitar (Which I played for 6 years)

unless you have a few grand to spend then i dont think you want any of those. but i would tell you to get just a higher grade model of an ibanez or sumthing, since youve only bee playing 2 years.

If you're using this to decide which guitar you should get.... I don't suggest this method. Go to a guitar store and try out lots of different kinds of guitars and pick the one that feels best and plays best.

My friend has one in green. Or it's something similar; I know it's an SZ. Has a nice, wide neck.
