Hi , thanks for the reply...

That day before I buy I tested out some fender jap strats..and i fell in love with the tone and feel of the neck + the grip of the body..and its so much lighter..its like its made so perfect..the string and fretboard are smooth to play with!!

so at last i didnt buy the epiphone black beauty...my friend adviced me not to cause better get a Gibson when im really good next time... as an epiphone is still an epiphone..

I have not bought any guitar yet..now am testing all the fenders like crazy!! i like the jap reissue model especially the one with alder body and maple neck and maple fretboard..the sound is very one biji biji..nice!!
