This is an excellent rock guitar and a slick deal. If you're a beginner, I can't think of a better starter electric. If you're in the market for a dual-humbucker hard rock guitar, it's an excellent guitar that hangs with instruments several times its price.

I've played both, and Monarkhs stomp all over the low-end Epiphone LP Jr. and SGs. The body is contoured, so it's far more comfortable to play than the slab bodies on Epis or the bound body on a real Les Paul. The headstock is straight-pull, so bending notes doesn't knock them out of tune. The neck is compound radius and bound, which you usually don't see until > $500. Fretwork is better than you usually see at the price. Neck is slim and shred-friendly, but not quite as ironing-board thin as Ibanez.

The only reasons I can see not to get one are that you want a Strat-style guitar with single coil pickups, you want a tremolo, or you want a thick, chunky neck.

Yep, and some pics and a shoulder strap and a tuner, remember this saying to remember the string notes: Eddie Ate Dynamite Eddie Is Gone, plus you will need a lot of practice and patience! Practice, practice, practice. Also some regular, good in person lessons with someone you vibe good with. Wish you the best of luck, and remember anything worth doing is never easy.

Uhh, not correct. I use Elephants And Donkeys Grow Big Ears.

Any details on the pickups? DC resistance? Magnet type? Subjective thoughts of "hotness"?

Looks like this deal is still live, so maybe this will help:

I don't have exact measurements, but the Jackson-branded humbuckers in all their lower-end guitars are very hot and dark, with strong ceramic magnets. They sound a lot like the pickups Epiphone uses in their lower-end humbucker guitars like the LP Special. They're great for distorted tones and are hot enough to overdrive just about anything, but the bridge sounds muffled and midrangey on cleans. (The neck and combined positions sound fine for cleans.) As such they're very good for hard rock and classic metal, which is the intended use.
