Tough Decision...
Hey gang, I'm currently renting my electric guitar that I play. It's an Epiphone G400. I can get a deal on it for $400 Canadian funds when it runs almost $550. Now, I'm tired of spending cash on renting so I am buying an electric, whether it's the Epi that I'm playing or something a bit better. Here's the link to the Epi: http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?...CollectionID=3
Any suggestions on some other equivilant options? I want to maintain that "crunchy" sound that the SG has. I'm not huge on strats either. Any really nice Lel Paul style guitars that I should look at?

I have two Epiphones. A Les Paul Standard and my Alleykat Semi Hollow. Great quality for the money. Flawless finish on both of mine.
Agiles are great for the money. I know a few people that own them. You can check em out for yourself. Pretty good reviews on Harmony Central.

The ones on pages 4, 5, and 6 are better quality but cost more. I wouldn't mind owning one. I love their Root Beer colored Les Paul. Abalone inlays!!! *eyes bug out*
LORENA
Pronounced LOR-REH-NUH and not LOR-RAY-NUH. Nevermind. Just call me LORI.

What model is the Blackjack I linked a copy of? I don't know if my local shop carries that brand of guitars, but I'd be interested in trying that model of a different make to see if it's worth looking into.

also check out www.harmonycentral.com for user reviews. Also, take on-line reviews with a grain of salt. I'm an on-line retailer and a quick way to make myself and my products look good is to start leaving a bunch of glowing reviews. That might get me business, but if I or my products don't live up to those original reviews then the negative ones that will most surely follow will tell the tale.
Fortunatly, all the glowing reviews about me and my products were left by happy customers.

Str8axe,
Don't know what a Dean Evo cost up there, but a few years ago I bought Dean Evo Special Select. I was looking at Epiphone LPs and saw this. Played it (fortunately they had a Peavey Classic 30, like my own amp) and fell in love with the tone and feel!! Plus it weighed a lot less than a LP.
Now, at about this time, I was 10 months away from turning the Big 50  and the wife told me if I waited I could buy "whatever guitar I wanted"...within reason. 
I had been looking at a Gibson LP but after hearing the Dean and knowing the price on the Gibson LP was gonna jump from $1300 to around $1600 by that November, I opted for the Dean. Right price, right tones, right feel. And I think Looks real Nice. 
Cost $600 total including hardshell case & Tax. Never looked back! The regular Evos cost a bit less than the Special Selects.
Just my Opinion, YMMV
