I agree that the guitar you listed above isn't that big a step up from your current pacifica.

You should be aiming for something like, I dunno, A Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani or Vai's signature low end guitars...... or something like an S series or maybe like enteryourusername says, an Epiphone Les Paul Standard or heck, a Jackson RR3 or something around that range.......

Since you already have a first guitar, save up for a damn good one.

this is NOT a place to buy and sell.
Check the trade zone for that.

moving to an LP special II is like moving from Kancil to Proton.

Cool song... need a bit more work on the vibrato though smile.gif

On topic
The pacifica is based on a strat right? You might want to look something that gives you a differnet kind of sound, ie. something with two humbuckers, or something with a floating bridge.
Also, depends on what sort of music you'd like to play with the 2nd guitar.

I wouldn't bother if I were you.

if I were to upgrade, I'll make the upgrade really worthwhile.

save up RM2k-3k and reward yourself with an awesome axe after that, it's worth it smile.gif

If u really insist on the humbucker, upgrade ur bridge pickup to a seymour duncan or dimarzio hum cancelling strat pickup.. those are thicker in tone.

Your pacifica is a good beginner model.

For a second guitar, you really should look to get something better in quality. What is your budget, and what music do you play?

where your epi is made makes a massive difference thou.
I tested a MIC epi LP-100 vs a MIK epi SG standard. guess which one had a fatter, richer tone? the SG. In fact, i didn't even realize that it was MIK until i noticed it sounded fatter and warmer than the LP, then i checked with the shop dude.

P.S. ==> the SG i'm talking about is at chambers. It's hidden in the corner somewhere near the kerry king signature.

i wouldn't sell the microcube. good enough for bedroom practice smile.gif
buying pedals is all up to you, go try out a few and see if you like the sound of them.
i'm thinking of getting a 2nd guitar too, still saving money cuz i'm planning to get at least an above average one cuz i don't think i'll be getting any other guitar after this one unless i sell off one(dont want to have more than 2 guitars).

imo, get something that will last you for the rest of your life thumbup.gif
don't rush your decision
