So which guitar do you think I should get?

Question

Alright, so it's down to two guitars: An Epipnone Les Paul (can't afford a Gibson), or a Dean Dime-O-Flage. I'm really, really into metal. Like that's my life. But I also like the RHCP, and stuff like that. So which guitar do you think I should get? I really want both.

Answer 1

I can see youre problem, there both nice guitars, i personally would go with the dean, i always wanted one of dimes signature models. now if i could only play one like him!!

Answer 2

The Dimebag is pretty much a metal guitar, while the Epi LP will be a little more versatile. You should really try to play both and see which one YOU like better. I would get the LP, then save up and get a better version of the Dimebag axe.

Answer 3

buy both i would assume that youve already played everything in your price range . if you havent do thatfirst than come back.as far as your question i started on a epi les paul but im not a total metalhead. but just so you know the heavy distortion on metal is compliments of the amp not the guitar

Answer 4

Go with the Epiphone... you'll be MUCH happier. Both the Epi and the Dimebag are made in Korea, but the Epi has better quality control.

Answer 5

Dean's are hit or miss...the lower priced one's are more often "miss." Epiphone is not bad, it's still made by Gibson. Go with the Les Paul.

Answer 6

Go with a Dimebag Darrell tribute guitar. They play really nice

Answer 7

Go with the Les Paul (If Zakk is your savior )
