I have narrowed it down to two choices.

Epiphone Les Paul Standard ($499)

Jackson DXMG Dinky ($499)

What is the difference between a Les Paul custom and Standard?

The only reason why I'm considering the Epiphone is because my two favorite guitarists use Gibson Les Paul Standards.

I really like this guitar ($699)

It comes with EMG pickups. Whatever guitar I decide to get I'm going to upgrade the pickups to EMG's.

Unfortunately I can't get that guitar because it is not on Amazon.com. I didn't even know Amazon sold guitars, LOL.

I've won a $500 Amazon Gift Certicate so I have to purchase the guitar from them.

Recommendations wanted!

My budget is $600-$700. Thanks in advance.]]> Guitar Players Discussion ylime https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/help-me-decide-on-a-new-guitar-2/#post-20425
