I have been playing a while, and looking to get into playing metal, I own several guitars, and something about this guitar keeps nagging at me. I have played 1 in the shop, and I liked it, however I have never owned a Floyd rose, and when I tried it in store, didn't know what to do with tbh, should I get the reaper without the FR? Whats everyone's opinion on this guitar model?
I currently own the les paul but I'm wondering if I should trade it in for the schecter. I have smaller hands so the schecter feels better but idk if it has the same versitility as the les paul. In terms of sound, versitility and playability what are your thoughts?

Hi, I'm currently looking for my first guitar. I listen to a wide range of genres, but I prefer grunge, alt rock, hard rock, and metal.
I tested the G&L and the Schecter at Guitar Center. I liked the feel of both guitars equally.
I wasn't able to test the Yamaha since it wasn't in-stock. Is there a big difference in quality between these three guitars?
My criteria for a guitar is:
- Under $500
- Has a fixed bridge
- Has a humbucker
How I feel about each guitar:
Price:
- Yamaha: $309.99 from Sam Ash.
- Schecter: $322.99 from Guitar Center
- G&L: $424.15.
Pickups: G&L > Yamaha & Schecter. I like the versatility of the G&L since it has a p90 and a humbucker.
Color Scheme: G&L > Yamaha > Schecter
And what price range should I go for as a beginner?
I've just seen the Cort KX300 Etched Black Gold go on sale for £250 (original price is around £499) and it seems like a good deal however I've had my eyes on some of the Schecter models such as the Omen elite-6(£400) omen extreme-6 (£400ish) and the banshee extreme-6 (£460), how do they all compare and which is going to be the best value for money? any help would be much appreciated.
