brad1 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 The only person that can "choose the right guitar for him" is HIM. How can someone else choose if for him? Especially when you haven't stated what your friend is looking for in a guitar and what skill level your friend is at. Really need a lot more info. It's all very subjective. Tell your friend to research both (videos on you tube, etc.), and then more importantly, play both. Find a store that has both and play them. That is the best way to know which is the better fit for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigneil Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I would say they are both very much on par with one another...just a matter of cosmetics really, and also bearing in mind that there will always be variations from guitar to guitar within the same type/model, the best thing for your friend to do would be to go out and play 'em and see what he/she likes best. P.S like last time I went out guitar shopping, I went to the shop to try out a couple of second hand SG's, neither of them felt right so I simply played every single solid body hard tail guitar with humbuckers in the entire shop...ended up bringing home an Ibanez.

Blueman335 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I would say they are both very much on par with one another...just a matter of cosmetics +1. I have both. Both are well made guitars, same workmanship and materials, except that Customs have more bling: gold hardware, bigger fret inlays, bigger headstock motif, & extra binding. Other than that, they're the same guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse-kun Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 well. i'll add in a little info : he plays mostly (in genre) hard rock, alternative rock. in short, he's a shredder. he has been playing for 5 years. as far as lineups go, there really isn't a single review on the new PRO versions the Epiphone has recently released. he says the difference between the two (on the Epiphone website) is the wiring on the standard PRO is not 4-wire while the custom PRO has that feature. honestly i don't know the difference between 4-wire coil tap feature and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
