Finally I find an objective review from a real expert. What a great and informative review this truly is. I'm into rock and metal and want to play along to my favourite bands. I Googled the best guitar for beginners and the Epiphone Les Paul Special player packs came up with Bryan Epsey doing demos of the Epiphone Les Paul Player Pack, Performance Pack and Goth SG Performance Pack. After some deliberation I chose the Epiphone Les Paul Performance Pack but discovered that it had been discontinued with the Electar 15w. This has put me in the position of buying the guitar and amp separately. The amp which suits my budget is the Line 6 Spider Classic 15 1x8 Combo. I am still undecided on the guitar. I watched demos and reviews on YouTube and watched Lee from Dawsons demo the Epiphone Les Paul VE and the Special II. He was extremely impressed with the Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Special II Plustop (Heritage Cherry Sunburst). I get the impression that the VE is a downgrade of the Special II, especially sine the VE costs less. Now I have a dilemma of not knowing which to choose. I would be immensely grateful for your thoughts? [h=1][/h]
