Electric guitars? Gibson Epiphones? Fender strats? New pickups?!


Question: Electric guitars!? Gibson Epiphones!? Fender strats!? New pickups!?
I'm looking at buying a new electric guitar soon, maybe off ebay!. I'm thinking of getting a Gibson epiphone les paul for around $800 and was just wondering what people thought of this, or whether I should go with a Fender stratocaster which was what I was also thinking about!?

I've also heard a lot about people buying guitars and then getting better pickups and things like this, but I don't really understand it all!. If someone could explain that as well, that would be great!.

I've been playing for about 5-6 years as well!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
1!. $800 for a used Epi LP seems a bit high!.

2!. LP vs!. Strat - this is an age old argument with merit on both sides!. It comes down to the style of music you wish to pursue!. LP has the fatter tone and more sustain!. Strats great clean sound and harmonics for blues!.

3!. Pickups are magnetics that convert the mechanical action of the strings into electrical impulses!. The more copper wire you have wrapped around them the more powerful (hotter)they are!. This seems the preferred setup for hard rock and metal players!. Fewer wraps make for a cleaner sound which is preferred by jazz, blues, and country players!. Stock pickups are a compromise between these two results!.

Some pickup manufacturers on their websites now have sound samples you can get an idea of how their models differ!.

With Strats there are now double stacked pickups which are two coils of copper wire stacked on top of each!. This designs cuts down on the hum that single coil pickups are notorious for!. Humbuckers don't have this problem!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
