I went for the Gretsch G5220 and I love it!
Tried all of those and to me the Gretsch felt way better than the others.

Hello everyone,

I've been looking for a good guitar (not beginner) that can be bought new for under £400, and I've heard/read good things about these 3 models:

- Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT
- Epiphone Les Paul Standard
- ESP LTD EC-256FM

I will go in shops to try them out to see how they feel and listen to how they sound (as from the pics I like the look of them).

I wanted to know if anyone here has had experience with these models and if there's one of them that is better compared to the other two, for whichever reason.

Thanks!
