Why So Serious?
Okay sythe. I'm buying a new guitar soon and i have about $450.00 - $650.00 CAD to spend. I would you guys to psot some good guitars and their prices, etc. It would help if prices were in Canadian. Also, I was gonna buy Ibanez MTM1 but too expensive. I will post guitars I've been looking at.

Ibanez Mick Thompson Model MTM2: http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/flypage/product_id/24475

Slash Les Paul Epiphone GoldTop: http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?ProductID=301&CollectionID=6

Emily The Strange G-310 Epiphone SG: http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?ProductID=238&CollectionID=16

Ibanez RG321MH: http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--IBARG321MH

adding more.
 
Check out Schecter Guitars.

They arent very well heard of, but they are amazing quality for the price.

I have a Schecter C-1 classic (around $750) and its AMAZING.
 
I've always had a soft spot for Epiphone Sg's. They look beautiful, and the tone you get out of the box...amazing.
 
You don't need to pick guitars on their looks, that's very important. I don't know if you have played on them, but it's best if you went to a guitar shop and try out several guitars to find the one that suits you the best. For example, when I bought my second guitar, I really wanted an Epiphone SG 400, but I ended up buying an Ibanez guitar (after trying several other guitars), because it played amazingly (costed me 350 euro's, that's 450 usd).

I can't really help you with chosing, but if I went for the looks, I would go for the SG-310. The others look kinda plain. But ye, looks aren't everything when it comes to guitars ;)
 
I'm currently using Washburn X 50 PRO, and it's better than all guitars you have posted in first post. But the last one you picked out to buy, is nice too.
Good luck in choosing one :)
 
I have no idea which one you should choose for quality, but for the look, I prefer the first one.
 
Id Go For the Ibanez RG321MH, I Was Thinking Of Buying 1 A While Back Might Save Up For One Again
 
Fuck dont get a samick, they are fairly poor quality unless your going for that weak twang sound which i guess sounds ok for blues. Look for an epiphone les paul studio with dot inlay, they play amazing for what they cost.
 
Choosing a guitar really depends on personal preference. If you like fast paced music and you need dexterity, go with something like a Jackson Dinky or an Ibanez GIO. If you like medium-slow music and you want to focus on quality, go with a Gibson/Epiphone Les Paul or DOT
 
thanks. toing to MCC [best guitar store I find] and looking at all of 'em. If they have an epiphone les paul im buying it. Thanks guys :D
 
Picking a guitar that looks good is the least of your worrys... you need to hear it to see what it sounds like... the better guitars have a way better sound
 
Right now I'm playing with a Epiphone Les Paul Special II. I also have a Fender Stratocaster. I would definitely prefer the Les Paul. My friend just got a ESP EC-50 though. It is one of the best guitars I have played on. It is also a lot more comfortable then my Les Paul.

But I would suggest the Les Paul from your choices.
 
Thanks guys, you're really helpful :)

Why even suggest that, 1. it's obviously far out of his price range and 2. Edge/Floyd style bridges are definitely not good unless you are going to use it all the time and the use you get from the bridge outweighs the inconvenience of restringing with them.
