I've never played guitar before and i am LEFT handed. My friend recommended
these two guitars, Epiphone Les Paul Special II Left-Hander or the
Squier® Standard Stratocaster® Left-Handed Electric Guitar. Im not
sure which one to get? Can you guys help me out. Also if there is a better
begineers guitar can u recommend one? Also can you tell me if i should
order online or at a shop.

Ok, they're both very good guitars, although I'd take the epiphone over the
squire because I considder the build quality to be better.
The question is, what are you gonna be playing?
Those 2 guitars will have very different sounds, if we know what style
you'll be playing we can tell you which one to go for ____________________

I guessed mars volta from your name 
Go for the Les Paul, Omar, Jimmy page and Robert Fripp all use humbucker
pickups, so that's what you need ____________________

my cousin bought a les paul special, and he dropped it and the fretboard
came unattached from the neck all the way down the neck and now he cant
play it. plus when he did have it i always had to tune it for him mainly
because hes retarted and didnt know how to toune but also because the
tuners wouldnt stay. so basically that guitar sucks hard and i dont
reccomend that you or anyone ever get one, plus there ugly and flat and
uncomfortable to play, spend the extra $100 and get the lp-100 its got a
carved top and it isnt gay.

You're doing well with the constructive posts lately Chris.
If he'd been more careful he wouldn't have dropped it and it wouldn't have
broken, as for the tuners, why didn't you just adjust them for him? ____________________

| I prefer to buy from shops so I can get a look at the guitar first and see
how it feels to play ____________________

Hey, out of those two i would take the epiphone over the squire. I have
another suggestion for you: upgrade to the fender strat lefty. $349 and a
pretty good deal.  ____________________
