Re: guitar under $400

Go to musiciansfriend.com and check out the Ibanez, ESP, and Kramer models, in addition to a few of the Epiphones.

I've read a lot of good reviews for the Agile LP clones.

Re: guitar under $400

I paid around $380 for my Epi LP with alnico humbuckers & the thing is a rock machine--the sustain is unbelievable.  Hit a power chord and just sit back and listen to it flow..almost takes on a life of its own.
You can grab a Epi SG for under $400 as well.
You can get a PRS now for around $400 & I hear good things about them.  I've played them but for me, I just liked how the LP feels strapped on--it it can sound so freakin' mean--I love it.

Re: guitar under $400

I agree with Franster ... my first thought with what style you want to play and the fact you want humbuckers is the Gibson Epiphone line ... you cant beat the price

Electric:  Gibson Les Paul Studio, Schecter Omen 6, PRS SE Custom
Acoustic:  Fender Talman, Yamaha
Amp:  Fender Super Champ XD/Line6 Spider III 75

Re: guitar under $400

HELLO DEAKEN 316
I had several topics about these guitars.
FIRST: I always give the advise to listen a guitar you like on youtube. It is not "the holy grail" but it gives you already an idea
- you can buy a Gibson Melody Maker Electric Guitar, but that one has only 1 single coil, but 384$
Gibson Faded SG Special Electric Guitar 699$
Epiphone B-Stock Les Paul Standard Plain Top 329$ on www.musiciansfriend.com On this site you find 100% a guitar you like AND in your budget. The B-stock are guitars from stores, 99% new. The regular Epiphon (=the same = 549$)
Ibanez RG2EX1 Electric Guitar = 299;99$ and the customer's reactions are great.
I hope just like the other fellow chordians that this info is good.
