Does it look like one of these?
i bought a guitar used and im not sure if its a les paul... its an epiphone and its shaped like a lp but it doesnt say les paul on the head stock, it sais "epiphone special model" ..is this a les paul?
Does it look like one of these?
yes its the black one that exact same guitar.. is it a les? and if not how much is it worth
First of all, welcome to the Fret! Stop by "The Fret Players" section and tell us a little bit about yourself... We like to give new members a warm welcome here.
Secondly, how much did you pay? The Epi Special models were on the low end of the price scale with bolt on necks, as opposed to the glued in neck of most LPs. I believe Epiphone still categorized the Special as one of their "Les Paul" models. The closest thing in the current line up is either the one pickup Junior, or two pickup LP100. Epi Juniors run about $130 new, and LP 100s run about $250 new.

I bought this guitar..a ten wat marshal amp and a 100 dollar foot pedal and the whole package was 150..is this a good deal?
100 dollar foot pedal? What was that?
I'd say for $150 it's not horrible. It's at least enough to get you started. If you've been playing for a long time, I might question why you bought that, but I'm guessing you're fairly new to the electric guitar -- is that correct?

I'm 14 I'm very new to guitar I had a late 90's squier strat and I'm not sure what the foot pedal is but after I bought it I took the footpedal to guitar center and they said its like 80 something new they may have been wrong I don't know but ya I'm 14 and very new to guitar and this is a major step up from my crap squier
Well, what does the foot pedal say on it? What's the brand and model and what not?

I'm not at home so i cant really look at it but all I know is it has 80 different modes and you can completly customise all the modes and it has a tuner I can't remembe what brand
The guy at guitar center was probably messing with me it was probably like $20
Probably a Zoom 505. They are pretty cool, but a little noisey. You can program it as well. If it is a Zoom you can look it up on the internet and get a lot of decent patches.
This is a similar guitar and amp combo at MF. It goes for 259.

I want a shector next.. do you think I could get a somewhat good shector ( or shecter however its spelled) for around $500?
I agree ZMAN -- it sounds like it could be a Zoom or Digitech or any similar multi-effects pedal. The description reminded me of a Digitech RP100 I used to have.
You can usually get Schecter guitars used for pretty decent prices. I've seen more than one C-1 Plus go for about $300+.

Schecters are great guitars, and in your price range you should be able to find something really decent. I have a Schecter Black Hawk, and I think it was one of their lower range models (it's discontinued, so I don't know much about it. I emailed Schecter to get info, but they never got back to me), but it's got a fantastic neck, and it's probably one of my top three players.
The Epi LP Specials aren't horrible, if I recall correctly. Not a bad starting point for someone who's just getting into it. If you're looking for some really nice, but inexpensive guitars, check out rondomusic.com. I have five of their guitars, four of them were purchased brand new. Also Jay Tursers, Greg Bennetts, and similarly branded Samick (I think those are both Samicks. Someone feel free to correct me if not) guitars are usually well made and offer good entry level quality instruments.

Guitars: Lots.
Amphs: More than last year.
Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.
Thanks guys and my pedal is a digitech I remembered ..I play mostly blues any suggestion for a blues guitar? Telecaster maybe?
I would just enjoy your amp, pedal, and guitar for the time being -- they should do the trick. You can go to some music stores to try out guitars and amps that you are interested in, but try to play and enjoy the music. Lots of expensive gear doesn't make you happy; playing guitar and making music does.

I've been playing for about 2 months and I can play various parts of (metallica one, enter sandman, sanitarium, and nothing else matters ) and I can play various parts of layla by Eric clapton and crossfire by srv and seam on by aerosmith ..so I'm learning pretty fast but I want to start writing my own stuff
That's cool, and I have no doubt you're going to progress really quickly. I was just pointing out that it's easy to think that you need some level of equipment before you can be 'good', but there's plenty of time for that eventually. Just keep playing, and things will fall into place sooner or later.
