What is better?
dude they are totally different beasts
are you a "small guy" if so the goth aint for you they are huge and heavy
i know people on here dont like em but id get an EX 50 they actually are good guitars my guitarist has both and we both prefer the EX ofer the EPI and hes 6,2 200+lbs and ime 5,7and under 170
if you get any of them you may want to change pups tho
I'm definately not small, I'm 13 years old and six foot. I'd actually like to get both of them eventually, hopefully by christmas time. One of them for a birthday gift and one with my own money that I am saving for right now. As for the EX's, I think they are ugly because of the sharpened edges
They are both poo guitars though... seriously, just take the $400 and save it for something non shitty. You don't want 3 shitty guitars. Get a nice one.
I'll see if I can take the $400, but I don't think I'll be able to.
EDIT: I asked, and my parents said "No, it wouldn't be a gift then." So I think I might get the Explorer and put my money that I am currently saving towards an ESP LTD ec-1000 Deluxe. I've played it before, and it is truly awesome

Pretty much this...
I've bought a couple Epiphones, and if I saved the money from those plus a little more I could have got a Gibson. I do like my Epi's though, don't get me wrong...
I got my self a nice American Tele now, now I'm lookin' for a Gibson (Les Paul or Explorer)
Take it from somebody around your age. Try if you can, to get or work towards something completely worth while.
It looks like in your situation your gonna have to pick one, just pick what you like. Who cares what we like.
"Which is better" is actually a very difficult question. Do you only play heavy music ? Are you lead guitarist or rhythm guitarist ? You might want a guitar with a vibrato, with 24 frets instead of 22... maybe you should consider other models.
Quality wise, I'd say the epiphone is better than the LTD. LTDs start being better than epiphone at the 400 series, or the deluxe models. This is my opinion, I hope the others will share it.

Whenever I jam with friends I always play rhythm and rarely a solo. So mainly rhythm. And I think I am going to go with the Epiphone, and then keep saving my money and get a EC-1000 Deluxe
i'd expect the ltd to be overall better build.
i have the goth epi and what i can say for shure is that the frets are smaller (medium jumbo maybe?) and the neck thicker than on ltds.
it's also cheaper than the 256 ec.
the only thing that spoke for the epi (for me) was the shape.
i love the explorer shape to play standing, the access to the bridge and so on.
i was pending exactly between these two guitars myself...
goog luck dude!
