I know this post has been done millions of times, but doing a quick search through the forums has not found any of them so I am posting again. I am willing to spend anywhere from 500 (or less) to possible 800 if it is worth it. I play anything from Led Zeppelin to Metallica and GNR stuff. I have a multi effects pedal, though, and I am pretty good at getting the sound I want. Therefore the biggest concern to me is playability, value, and looks. Thanks to anyone's help. By the way I was considering an Epiphone or Ibanez if anyone has any experience.
