Pretty expensive if I got three of them, although if I did choose that whole Strat path I would probably get one DiMarzio or the Burns and then two cheaper ones or maybe just keep the middle and neck single coil pickups.

Does anyone with a Strat find that the strings are a little too close to the scratchplate. I noticed this when I last played one and I just want to know whether it can become a problem or anything.

I'm thinking of going for an Epiphone, I'd upgrade the pickups and tuners and whatever else needs it if I got it with the spare money. But the main reason i'm thinking about getting the Epiphone is that I'd have to take it to school very often, and Gibson's tend to get stolen from my school pretty often compared to any other guitar brand. It felt pretty good today in the shop, however I still haven't made my final decision. I really liked the feel of the neck as well, completely different to how mine is and the action was a nice change.

I play drums so I know nothing about guitars but I am told the epiphone is a great guitar :D

I went for the Epiphone, not that exact one, but it was a really great decision. I'm really glad I got it. Sure, you could say a Gibson would be even better but i'm more than happy with the Epiphone and I didn't have to sell any of my organs to buy it! :D

It's better buying a better guitar like Gb Lespaul or an American Strat than xpending a lot of money on bad guitars to fix them.
