Charvel model 4 vs. Epi Les Paul Standard

I currently own a charvel model 4, i love the fast neck, but im disliking the tone without a metal zone or metal core. I have the choice to sell this guitar and buy (if you look on musicians friend) Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Standard Sparkle Flake Electric Guitar, or keeping my model 4. the reviews say it takes some setting up for the epi, but i've been fixing guitars for a long time, so no trouble there. Any Advice???

You really need to have a sit down and a think about this as they're very different guitars.

If you like the feel of your current guitar then I'd advise upgrading the electronics rather than part chopping it on a guitar that is very different in looks, feel and style from what you know you like.

I'd keep the Model 4. I had an Epiphone and I hated it, the worst guitar I have ever owned, but it was a crappy LP Special II so I'm not sure about higher end Epi's though. I just got a Charvel 275DLX a few weeks ago and probably the best guitar I have now. Personally I would love to have a Model 4, but it depends on your preference.
