Umm, are you sure that's not an Epiphone, because Gibsons are not for beginners. Once again, we need your price range. I would reccomend one of the cheaper Ibanez RG's. You can go back later and change the pickups for EMG's or Dimarzio Evolutions or something like that. Ibanez makes a great metal guitar. The RG's usually have the floating tremolo (whammy bar, as some like to call it) on there. Kind of a pain in my opinion (I have one) But I love the sound of the instrument. The double locking bridge just gets on my nerves. And btw, if you are kind of a beginner, I wouldn't really go for the double locking bridge just yet, maybe get a Fender mexican strat.
