PEASE HELP!! Tom Delonge Strat or Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty?

I would get the Les Paul. It will have a vastly greater tonal range. The DeLonge Strat only has one humbucker. So unless you want to have the same sound ALL the time, you don't need the Strat. I've played the DeLonge Strat and it doesn't sound very good anyway. It's way to bright even with a humbucker. Get the Paul.
