George T asked:


just a question about which of these two guitars to get

1. Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar
or
2. Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany Electric Guitar

here’s a link that compares both http://www.musiciansfriend.com/compare?base_pid=517030&base_pid=517536

so i know that the studio is probably better because it’s more expensive (though i could be wrong), but is it a better buy for the money?

a friend’s brother said i should i should get the mahogany because it’s a better value, and i trust him, but i just wantd a few more opinions to see what other people would choose

here is my problem.. im starting to get really good at guitar. im into all the techniques and have mastered them.. that includes finger tapping very quickly, hammering, pulling off, etc. the only problem is that my amp and guitar **** and i have no money. for example..when i finger tap on my guitar it is not clear at all and it sounds really bad compared to when i do it on my friends ibanez. im trying to get a heavy sound but all i have on my amp is a “boost” effect which is not really much of a distortion. im guessing its my guitar though also.. pickups are pretty bad and everything. i have an epiphone les paul special II and a Studio 10S epiphone practice amp….should i just get a new guitar/amp or a distortion pedal or what? any suggestions on an amp. i might get a Gibson Vintage guitar or maybe an Epiphone Prophecy with EMG pickups =] what do you guys think?
