Ibanez's are usually known for being metal guitars so if thats what you're into go for it. If not, u can get the les paul ripoff 2500 series from
www.rondomusic.com. someone else on here bought one and liked it and it was only $300 so check that out, it should be good for most styles. Another good cheapy is the Godin SD which is ($350 CAD) which is more of a mellow rock/blues guitar.
