Choices!

Which guitar hero of mine should I pick?!

Dave Mustaine and Slash are my two Guitar Gods. They both have signature guitars that I can afford.

Should I go Dave Mustaine? Or should I go Slash?

Dean Dave Mustaine VMNT1 Signature Guitar.

This bad ass axe uses Dave Mustaine's Seymour Duncan Livewire Active pickups. From what I have read, this is a 'Active' version of the Seymour Duncan 'Hot Rodded' pickups (that I have installed on my Ibanez RG). The guitar is super light and somehow, playing with the 'V' design by holding it in between my thighs is remarkably comfy. The action is SUPER LOW!

Epiphone Slash Signature Les Paul.

This equally awesome guitar was built to Slash's exact specs. The maple top is always a nice welcome thing for me (I love the finish). It uses Seymour Duncan Alnico II pickups and with gain and some Overdrive, one can replicate the distinct Slash sound. This is a limited edition Les Paul and the local GuitarCenter has two of them.

Both of these bad-ass axes come with a case, straplocks, and a strap. Both cost $999. Dilemma!

But in all honesty, I am leaning heavily towards the VMNT1. I promised myself that I would buy a 'Gibson' Les Paul. The Epiphone Les Pauls don't use the Gibson pick ups. The Slash Signature is an exception though because it uses the awesome Seymour Duncan pickups.

I guess I will find out on Monday (when I sell of Ms Ibanez for either one of these - Memorial day sale?).

Argh!
