Ahhhh I’m so confused. Now Im hearing that Les pauls were voted best for metal tone but as any metal guitarist knows, you want your axe to look bad ass especially when performing and Les pauls body style, although classic and instantly recognizable, just isn’t what I’m going for. I've heard some bad stuff about BC riches but yeah anyways, I’ve ruled out a les pauls rogues and i've never even heard of parker so yeah.

This purchase will probably take place in the next month or so, so im going to continue browsing and I really appreciate your guys' suggestions.
