OK guitar players...did I screw up...shoulda asked before I forked out money...

[nobody]

The wife is graduating from Law School and has been talking about wanting a guitar, so I just placed an order for one to give her as a gift. I know I payed a bit too much for the paint job. (I got her one with flames painted on it at like $75 more than the standard one, but she'll love the flames so I figured that was worth it.)

I've played drums, but never guitar, and everybody I know that plays is on the fancier end of the spectrum, outta my price range unless she really takes to it and by then I'm sure she'll want to pick out her own. I didn't want to go used and take a chance getting something that would need repairs I was unable to do.

Anyway, I ordered an Epiphone Les Paul Special II Hot Rod (the hot rod just means flames, it's their basic Les Paul Special II otherwise) along with an Epiphone EP 800R combo amp.

She likes rockabilly and harder rock, punk and stuff like that. She's a big Smiths fan too, but I picture her more wanting the thing to learn some old rock and occasionally get heavy.

Did I make a big mistake, or is this a decent setup to start off with. I may still be able to cancel the order if I screwed up too bad. Here's a pic...
