Hello All,

I have been looking for a while and think I am going to pull the trigger on a new guitar. I have a Epiphone Les Paul Custom currently. The weight of the guitar (yeah I am old tongue.gif ), and the difficulty I have with playing on the higher frets are the main reasons.

I am considering an Ibanez (love the neck), LTD, and a Shecter. All are in the $600 range.

Any pros or cons that I should be aware of? When people say the LTD is a Metal guitar is the because of the stock pickups? If so I could just put a passive pickup in the neck and be good to go?

At the end of the day I am sure I would be happy with either but would value some non-biased input.

Thanks,
Brian S.
