Use the search function on the right to find the style you want.
I play a Squire Telecaster (my first electric guitar), and I definitely think it's time for a new guitar. My main problems are the extremely high, slow action, the awful tone, the pickups (barely sense tapping and hammer-ons and pull-offs), and the tuning heads (barely stays in tune long enough for me to play a song).
When looking at possibilities for a new guitar, I've found that the Fender Stratocaster and the Epiphone Les Paul seem to be the highest quality guitars in my price range. In a new guitar, I'm looking for something that will give me:
1. An all-around great sound. Whether I'm playing clean or with heavy distortion, I want a nice tone.
2. Versatility. I'm mainly going to be playing hard rock/metal, but I want a guitar that can achieve a superior meta sound as well as softer tones/bluesy tones, etc.
3. Ease of play. It is preferable for the strings to be low to the fretboard and easy to bend/slide.
Between the two guitars, which fills the above specifications better?
The Fender Strat is definitely the better of those two. All the Epiphone Les Pauls that I have played feel like toys. They aren't too much better than the Squier Strats. If you were talking about a Gibson Les Paul, it would be a closer match.
The truth is, the metal tone is easy to get with the right amplifiers. However, to get a good dynamic bluesy tone a Fender Strat will definitely lend more to your style than an Epiphone. Reasons why:
The scale length is longer, meaning more tension in the strings and therefore more energy in the bends and intensity in the lower notes.
The wood and body are lighter, and made of woods that lend more of a deep, bluesy sound.
They have five different pickup selection positions and two tone knobs, which lend great variety to the possible tones you can achieve. for comparison, an Epiphone only has three pickup positions.
In general, Fender makes higher quality instruments than Epiphone. Epiphone is to Gibson what Squier is to Fender- a lesser company that makes all their beginner instruments at cheaper prices.
