I just adore my Epiphone Les Paul. Ok, maby it isn´t the best sound-guitar (humbuckers sucks and my frets are almost gone) but the feelin´ is amazing. Neck is great and it´s easy to mute strings.

I´ve tried aslo an Ibanez RG-model. And I really liked but my muting sucked and I didn´t acutally know how to mute strings. Also volume knob was always in the way when I tried to sweep. But despite all of this, its a great guitar but maby not for me.

If you´re really rich, than go for John Petruccis Music Man signature model. You want regret it but of corse, money, money, always funny, in the richs man world.
