6 strngs-hmbkrs, your info was great and i am going to go down to a few shops around town and get some prices on the items you quoted mainly just guitar and amp. I have been hearing from other people that buying seperately usually results in better quality rather than some package from china.
Is the "Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar" a better guitar overall than the "Ibanex rx40". I know you said its better for metal,... but because iam in the learning phase and its going to take me awhile before i can play any slayer, pantera, metallica etc. and i will also play some other genres( iam learning offspring, and other punk at the moment), is this a better guitar in most aspects?
opinions on this would be helpfull.
cheers
Dave
