Hi to you all!
I've been playing Rockabilly rhythm guitar for a little while, and I'd like to jump into lead guitar.
I got myself an Epiphone Sheraton II which seems to be a great start for me, but I'm wondering if I made a good choice about the sound I'm looking for.
This guitar has two Humbuckers, but I've been advised to get a guitar with single coils (P90) to get the real Rockabilly sound. Considering Humbucker pick-ups had been very popular starting in 1957, I'm really wondering why couldn't I get a good sound coresponding to the music I love.

Here's my dilema:
A) Keep my Epiphone Seraton I bought yesterday at $680.00
B) Exchange it for an Ephiphone Wildkat at $600.00 (Almost same price). The Wildkat has 2 P90 pick-ups+bigsby

I don't have much time so I have to make a quick choice here.

Please help me guys as I have no clue what to do and want to start with a good choice.

Thank you all!
:)
