hey guys i need ur opinions really badly as soon as possible. i have a budget of $800 and i cant decide whether to get Epiphone LP Custom or Schecter Tempest Extreme or Omen 6 FR Extreme. I think the price of LP Custom is arnd $800 but tats Custom Plus on Sweelee webby and no free gig bag. Whereas the tempest custom is $499 + free randall amp(i think 15 or 20 watts forgot to ask) and gig bag. The Omen6 FR Extreme is $599 + free randall amp + gig bag. And can any1 explain to me why basswood body is a big turn off for most people. izzit really lousy? which type do u prefer? THANKS PPL :lol:

first, try both guitars if possible. for me, the lp neck is chunky(ier) than the schecter neck.
next, which sound do you like better? when you try the guitars dun base the quality of the sound on just the guitar, if u try at guitar 77 u'd be playing through a much more exp amp.
do u like whammy stunts? thats another thing to consider *floyd*
basswood isnt a "bad" wood per say, just that people feel it does not really bring out the tone, but its an excellent wood for shred (i've heard). heck, some jems use basswood.

and at g77 u will be using those jekyll and hyde kinda effects..the sound is totally diff..
i think ill get the LP.
u guys wanna noe sumthing? a couple of weeks ago i tried my friend's GIBSON LP CUSTOM and epi lp standard(w/ gibson 490 498 pickups), honestly both guitar sounded the same to me. the sustain and tone is exactly the same juz whn i thought there would be a distinct difference.

either one: oblivion or epi LP's are really good..
but why do you think one's priced at 600 and the other at 3000+?
the quality control at gibson is much better than epiphone, together with the manufacturing process. Its much harder to find a gibson lemon than one from epiphone.
but whatever suits you. if you can save money, why not?
wats a gibson lemon!?!??! LOL!! i agree tat the gibson is much better in quality but in terms of sound, i juz thought it would be lyk WOW!! anyway my parents wont allow me to buy guitars more den 1k. i guess ill wait till i get a high paying job or maybe aft NS which is lyk 6 more yrs?? :lol:
