plz guide me!.
here are the guitars
Epiphone - SG Express
Epiphone - Explorer GT
Epiphone - Special II GT
Ibanez - GAX30
Ibanez - DN500
Ibanez - DTT700
I like the Epiphone Special II from your list, but have you checked out the Ibanez Artcore as well? They're pretty nice. You do really need to go to a guitar shop and play everything you can in your price range though and see what feels and sounds best to you. Buying a guitar is a very personal thing and what I like might not be the same as what you like, especially in that price range where there are a bunch of good options available. As far as brands in that price range that offer good electric guitars I'd look at some of these:
Godin - these are great guitars that a lot of people overlook because their not "mainstream"
Schecter - only their cheaper models are in your range and they have crappy Duncan Designed pickups though
Ibanez - Ibanez makes great electric guitars and basses at great prices. I avoid their acoustics though.
Epiphone (a real Gibson is obviously above your price range)
Squier (a real Fender will start around $500)
Hope this helps a bit, but really, you have to go play them and pick one that feels good in your hands and sounds good to your ears. Pickups, weight, feel, and setup/action are very important factors when buying a guitar and we all have our preferences.
