| A Telecaster would be my choice if you're afraid of getting an Epiphone Les Paul. I have an Epi Les Paul I bought maybe 10 years ago and it's about as good as the late 70's Les Paul my mate had. Try one first and you might be surprised. The problem is though you can get one mail order at a better price so I understand the temptation and it's not unheard of for people to end up with a lemon.
There are a dozen different Tele versions, they're widely stocked so you get a choice, and they are (IMO) the most playable guitar ever made - ideal for rock and blues. If you want a more heavy sound then you have a bewildering array of pickup options (hot rails can be added for very little money). However, you can buy one with humbuckers, you can buy them with P90's you can get them with almost anything, but the neck and the feel is usually awesome.
I have one of the early Highway 1's and it's beautiful. I prefer jumbo frets, so it suits me perfectly. I play through an old Marshall valve amp and it works a treat.
Also, as one other poster mentioned, the PRS is an option at around 500 quid as well. I personally think they look like childrens guitars and are as cool as driving a Lexus, but quality should be very high.

As he's already got one (see previous page) he could spend the full £500 on prostitutes.

| I've only been playing for a couple of years using a Les Paul Studio. Beautiful guitar and suits me perfectly.
My instructor had a Danelectro DC59 which I thought was stunning. I bought one for £220 from eBay (brand new), amazing guitar with wonderful tone. Pretty lightweight too.

| Personally I'd save or borrow another 300 quid and buy a Japanese-made Tokai or keep an eye out for a pre-loved one. Also I would rather have the Korean-made Tokai than the Epi they churn out these days.
