Epiphone G-400 vs. Squier Strat
I was wondering which guitar is overall a better quality. I know neither of them are top notch, but right now I'm not looking for a top notch guitar.
I play more rock and metal, which I hear the Epiphone is better suited for that, and the Squier is more suited for bluesy type stuff.
I already have a Fender acoustic, so I was originally going to get a Fender as well, but I've almost been leaning more to the Epiphone.
Here's GuitarCenter links:

So any opinions, reviews, advice, let me know!

Don't get the Squier. If you want a Fender, save up for one that is built better.
The Epiphone you picked has decent tone, I'd go with that.
Check around craigslist and even local guitar shops, maybe you can find a nice Strat or Mustang for a good price.

I have an Ibanez, but I've played Epiphones and Squiers. You're right, if you play more rock and metal, you wanna go for the Epiphone. It has a more solid, stronger type of sound. It really sings more than the Squier. Each to their own, of course, and if you haven't played both of these guitars, I suggest you head to Guitar Center and play around a little, but as far as these two are concerned, I'm way partial to the Epiphone. I don't like the way the Squiers sound at all.
Just throwing it out there, also - I got my Ibanez RG120 with an amp for $300 out the door from Guitar Center, and it sounds incredible playing metal and rock. I didn't like any of the boxed sets (so to speak) at guitar center, and the salesman gladly helped me make my own set with the guitar I wanted. So keep an open mind, they'll help you out.
Might be a little bit tougher with left-handed guitars, but you never know, there might be an option or two that you don't know about. When you go to GC, ask. They might be able to order something in for you if you find a different guitar you like.
Good luck, play well!
