Saved up i have 300 dollars and i am either going to get an epiphone special GT 2 which is two hundred and i could buy a new amp or some pedals with the left overs. The other guitar is a epiphone les paul standard which is three hundred bucks. which one?

I think the Les Paul has a better sound, is more recognized, and is more comfertable. On the other hand, the Special GT 2 is better for effects.

So you pick, but i would go for the les paul

And over both of those, ide go for a Fender Stratocaster American Deluxe.

Hoped this helped.

Just go to a music shop and try every guitar within that price range.

Depending on your amp, you may wanna look into getting a new amp before a new guitar. Most people would rather play a mediocre guitar through a nice sounding amp than play an awesome guitar through an amp that sounds bad. Remember, the amp makes up the majority of your tone and a good amp can still sound good with a bad guitar but a bad amp will sound bad no matter what you use with it.

If you plan on preforming I'd get which ever feels lighter and more comfortable if your just playing at home I'd get the first one and a good pedal.

An epiphone under $800 will suck. For a good quality guitar for that amount I would go with http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-IBA-RG321MH-LIST?SRC=D0407FG0HAMS0000&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=feed&
