Wah-lah! In these instances instinct works best.

Of course, that doesn't mean your instinct is always right.

What type of metal? Metallica/Anthrax type metal would lean more towards the LP. Whereas Megadeth type metal would lean towards the Schecter.

well sorta cannibal corpse metal

I'd maybe choose the Schecter if it wasn't for the extra long 26-1/2" scale.

I can deal with 24-3/4" or 25-1/2" scale necks just fine, but my reach isn't that good, so I wouldn't want a longer scale.

Seems like the Schecter would be better for that. YMMV.

Strong dislike of RG's? Can't be beat imho for a versitle rock/metal machine.

Get an Ibanez instead.

If you like the quilted tops, check out the Hagstrom Ultra Swede. 24 3/4" scale so it is slinky. Basswood body so it is lighter than the Epi. I just bought one and am super impressed.

If you're looking for a mahogany body, check out the Swede, or get a used Godin LG. That is a killer deal for a custom-feel guitar.
