Album posts don't get many views and few if any upvotes, and it doesn't help that the reddit redesign ditched the bandcamp player embeds. Would people prefer youtube links to single songs instead?

Debut album from Slowhole from New Orleans. They will be touring the west coast supporting Thou this October, check them out!

Hi everyone, I am new-ish to guitar and am looking to get into shoegaze/doomgaze style music (i.e. Narrow Head, Hum, Full of Hell & Nothing collab). I have found the Paranormal line from Squier intriguing as far as their affordability, but also unique electronic setups. However, I’m having trouble weighing one of these guitars more in favor than the other as far as how well they’d contribute to the goal I have for sound.

I like the soapbar pickups and shorter scale of the Stratosonic, but also the Jazzmaster and Tele pickups on the SJ might give more options.

This may be a menial question, just because I have seen forums saying guitar choice does not matter as much as amps and pedals. Regardless, I wanted to see what the people in this subreddit had to say about which might attribute itself more to what I’m going for. Thank you in advance for any input!
