if you dont mind used, you can get japanese orville LP for the same price as a brand new epi LP custom.
orville is what eventually became epiphone japan in 1998.

EMG of cos more for metal.
but then nickelback also uses EMG, so

metal eh??? i dun play metal lal lol.i play blink182,greenday and other genres,but not metal.how eh???

then save your money and get a kapok

what do u mean lol

If you're playing more punk favored songs...... I wouldn't recommend a Les Paul then. It just doesn't really work..... not to say you can't TRY.... but if you want to get that kind of tone, go for a strat guitar with some humbuckers instead.

kapok is good...
remember...its possible to do 2 handed tapping on it too.

you can also get the lo-fi billy joe armstrong acoustic sound

Oh yeah.... another thing.
My guitar teacher today said I'm ready to take a Grade 6 guitar exam and will start preparing me for it....

Anyone has any ideas what that encompasses?

really yeah???hermmm then what genre is LP good for???Metal???what metal songs u guys reccomend eh???maybe will learn a few n see if i like it.

If you like Punk songs..... why don't stick with that instead of trying to learn something new??

hmmm u have exams for ur guitar lessons huh...how did the 1st five grade go?

I dunno. My teacher just suggested I take the 6th grade straight away

i'm not really into punk songs only...i listen to all sorts of stuffs lol.

all sort of stuff...then the les paul will be a good choice for u...all rounder style...

Not really all rounder.....
Try playing All Along The Watchtower on a Les Paul...... that ain't right.

To ME.... the best all-rounder would be the Ibanez S series.... they are really impressive when it comes to versatility..... Yes.... The Ibanez......

If you want Blues, Rock (Classic....), Metal or anything that has a nice low-end.... the Les Paul is the way to go.

If you want something more sharp, a Strat or a Super strat is the way.

But of course.... rules are meant to be broken... so just ignore whatever this bumbling idiot (ie: me.) has to say

blink182, greenday, those 3-chord bands.... their music don't deserve to be played on expensive guitar

an SX or a kapok will do just fine

u cant say it like this just because u dont like their music...open your mind pls...if u dont like it...dont comment...

hmm...maybe u shld be a bit more mature..dont criticise like that..its like too much..and by the way...older greenday is good.doesnt mean that non mainstream is better than them or what..just be mature when critising ppl..though i dun listen to blink n stuffs..but i respect them to make songs for those who they like it.its at least a contribution to music.

that means u n me, n the other many ppl shld play SX or kapok too?lolz.......and i love sx also..looks really good with the affordable price they have there.

I started off with Green Day 3-chord songs on my crap-strat......
I STILL play Green Day 3-chord songs on my Jackson.

I would recommend that you try out Yamaha Pacifica guitars and see if you like the tone...... I Highly recommend them at the moment.

yeah..yesterday went to jamming studios i actually tried them out.and its very nice as in the tone and also the look.but i nvr regret gettin my metallic gold sq strats

greenday man..how can u say they sxxx...perhaps now is worst than previous time.but they are green day!keep what they doing man! ya know..own style!

Hey I thought Billie Joe Amstrong uses a Gison LP junior? Infact recently he had a custom model with Gibson?
