I just started "playing" (if you can call it that) really just .. yesterday. But should I be looking around for a Les Paul or Gibson or more "serious" guitars?
First off, ESP is a good guitar. They can easily be set up to play very well. A guitar center or any small shop will put on non-factory strings and set the action up properly for around $100 bucks. Beyond that, the sound comes from the amp. If you gave Carlos Santana 6 different guitars you'd never hear the difference because he has his amp settings down to a science.

Any guitar that' set up properly with the right strings,,I suggest 9's. I like Gibsons and Fenders and do own a number of each, but that;s because I like them. Not that I need them.
