If your doing rhythm, make sure it has at least one humbucker. I think they make a much better sound from strumming than single coil do.

mer, my Bich is not a new one, it's better then any new LP out there. So you may have heard the bich, but not a USA made one. The vintage LPs on the otherhand....thats a diff story, they're well made guitars. but unless you have that extra 1-2k on you...don't go for an LP.

actually the shape is not difficult at all, it's like a round, but with a cut. so...it's actually LESS in the way. This does effect tone though. Besides...what are you soloing on a humbucker anyway?  If you're a soloist, by all means get a decent strat, or a burns. There's more tone difference in single coil pickups.  

There are good epiphones...just they cost alota money. Like the lennon limited edition casino.<3


It's true though, there's a best guitar for everyone out there. Even though I know for a fact many new gibsons are fitted with plywood bodies. So at least with your new NJ bich, you have solid wood and a thru neck, not one thats binded on. Plus the stock pickups in gibsons/epis suck, you HAVE to get them replaced to play at a decent tone, otherwise you're stuck with a muddy almost tone. But hey...like I said, theres a best guitar for everyone.

Fender guitars are ok if you want to learn on them. I think that getting a custom made guitar is probably the best, just go to your local music store and giev them the specs and theyll make it for you.

^ Not many people have that kind of money to throw around.

Better idea - buy a really cheap used guitar, not a shitty guitar mind you, a decent quality one, and fix it up. I only recommend doing this if you are somewhat experienced with the technical works of guitars. For example, I am building a bass from a 1970's Fender Jazz knockoff. It sounded fantastic before, although it was in terrible condition. I am rebuilding it essentially from scratch, only using the neck and body.

Better yet, if you have access to a woodworking shop, make your own! Theres lots of resources on google about electric guitar making. As for amps, try www.guitarfx.net. Freeware (my favourite word) effects program, works just like an amp, booster and stompbox all in one!

actually the two guitars you have range from about 450-to 650. That's a good price for guitars. A solid, but not great  guitar. I don't think any of us have that extra few grand lying around
