Should I get a epiphone Les Paul Special 2?!
Question:
Should I get a epiphone Les Paul Special 2?
I've been playing guitar for 5 years and my fender squier is a bit worn out and has lots of problems such as buzzing. I really want a new electric but I am on a budget of about £120 most because I am a teenager, who doesn't get pocket money. I love the les paul shape and all the reviews I have read are positive. Should I get it, would you recomend another guitar.
Here is a picture of the different colours:

Answers:
You're looking at another starter guitar that is similar in quality to what you already have although it's a Epiphone. It will give you a chance to see what a Les Paul feels like to some extent and will give you a little more power since the Epiphone has humbucking pickups. Since you have been playing for five years, I would look to move up to a better guitar. Maybe you could look for a used guitar that is in good shape. I have bought many of them for half price!! Look at the Ibanez guitars too. They are more of a Fender style, but most are very good quality and have a lot of different sounds with the combination of single coil and humbucking pickups.
Keep playing no matter what you have!! It's all good!!!
