Pickups are offcourse important, but they can always easily be changed and replaced with something better if needed later. The most imporant thing is finding a guitar that feels comfortable and playable.
But you shouldnt have problems finding a overall good one for 500 €. In addition to those audiopaal mentioned, i can safely add Schecter to that list. -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio
Amp: Marshall JMP-1 -> Rocktron Velocity 100 -> Marshall JCM-900 Lead 4x12 FX and stomps: T.C Electronics G-Sharp, Korg SDD-1200, Emma Transmorgrifier, BYOC Tribooster, GGG Green Ringer, Dinosaur Overdrive, Voodoo Lab SuperFuzz, Sovtek Bassballs, Line6 Tap Tremolo, EHX Screaming Bird. ___________________________________________________ My Lessons!

Find something that fits in your hands perfectly. You'll know it when you take a guitar and start to play everything with ease. I would say that's a number one priority for that kind of budget. Number two priority would be sound.

If it's a 500E guitar I'd stay off floating tremolos and get a firm bridge (like a string through body, tuneomatic or similar)
People who have low end tremolos seem to have problems with tuning and the material wears down. About the choise between a Les Paul type and a Strat type guitar that falls back on you, what sound are you looking for? To make it simple, Humbuckers (Les Paul) is fat, Singlecoils (Strat) is twang. -------------------- My bands homepage

Hi,
I got this as my first guitar. Plays really nice and easy to play on: http://www.musikborsen.se/frameset.aspx?id...176565&fm=1 Looks good too  but today I actually bought a new guitar, twice the price butit sounded like a dream and it's this model: http://www.musikborsen.se/frameset.aspx?id...177964&fm=1 Main reason for new guitar was active pickups on the RGT6. |

nice change in my plan
:because i finish my exam this year, ill get a guitar for twice the price, that means for about 1000€. i thought about this one: http://www.thomann.de/at/gibson_les_paul_studio_99_wr.htm i think it's a very good quality and i really enjoy humbucker sound. i also thinks this one's beautiful because of it's "flamed" colour.

Copied my reply from an other thread
QUOTE One word: Schecter! They are damn cheep, considering that it is an extremely good guitar! The neck is very smooth, they aren't that heavy, cool, but not excessively looks, good sound and so on! Found some examples for you: Schecter Synyster Custom (My favorite Schecter!) Schecter C1XXX (Check the fretboard inlays  )Schecter Hellraiser C-7 A lot more Schecter guitars here, and all their models can be found at Schecter.com. Promise you won't be disappointed with a Schecter! Cheers, Batista They are darn awesome! -------------------- Seven Deadly Sins, One Deadly Syn

I think your father is right if you think about pickup type, and not pickups themselves (because they can be changed). But deciding if you want humbuckers or single coil, or mixed is very important.
When playing a guitar in a shop, try it out without the amp first. If you like the sound, it is more likely you will be able to add good pickups later. -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
