If you're a beginner at guitar and are wondering what a great guitar for metal and an AC/DC sound, try the Epiphone SG Special w/ Small 15 watt Travel Amp. The price is perfect too, at only $200.00 (without shipping) this guitar with the additional package (Gig bag, 10' cable, 15 watt amp, 3 medium Epiphone guitar picks, and a durable adjustable strap.

I tried out an Epiphone Prophecy Custom GX at a Guitar Center.  not in the same price range but nice nonetheless. Even has Gibson Dirty Fingers.
