LPs and Teles are very different. LPs have humbuckers, with thick tone, great for distortion and "fuller" cleans, while teles (usually) have single coils, which are more twangy, bright and thin.
LPs are heavy, and have a harder reach to higher frets. Teles are medium weight and have better access to higher frets. The biggest problem of epiphones is their stock pickups are usually quite weak, I mean they don't have the real punch of good humbuckers, they are quite mild, cheap, toy sounding. Their wood is also much worse than that on gibsons (they weight much less than their gibson versions, and are usually less balanced, though on LP models that would be less noticiable than on SGs). All in all, there's no right answer here. You need to play a few songs with each guitar, seee if they have the tone you seek. In that price range I probably would get neither, but a mexican strat. More versatile, but that's just me. I had a Tele, never liked it. Best deal for few bucks would probably be getting a second hand gibson SG, faded one. Then again maybe you don't like SGs... Or save a bit more and get a second hand LP Studio, those rock for their price. -------------------- Guitars:
