Gibson Les Paul Special or Dr Z Carmen Ghia???

Ok, so I bought a Gibson Les Paul Special with P90's at Guitar Center this weekend. This was totally an impulse buy. I have a Dr Z Carmen Ghia head on order to pair with my Two Rock, and I can't keep the Gibson and buy the Dr Z.

Which would you guys rather have? Would you keep the Gibson Special, or would you stay on course and get the Dr Z Carmen Ghia???

Tough choice, That's why I have both!!! I suck at making choices

Push come to shove, Unless you've got some sort of super deal / killer Special, I'd get the Ghia and save up for the another Special

That's what I'd do. The Z is a more special amp than the Special is a special guitar.

Return the Special in hopes you can upgrade to a Historic Special later.

I love P90 guitars. Keep the guitar. Save for another Dr. Z.

Ok, returned the LP Special and got the Ghia...OMG what an amp!!! This thing rocks and actually sounds better to my ear than my Two Rock. I'm already saving for another Special though
