Is the Epiphone LP Special II Les Paul Collection A step up for me?

I wouldn't worry to much about it,Eppy's LP II's are what I call cookie cutter guitars.I have owned one B-4 and was not too happy w/ it. It didnt stay in tune very well, but I will admit the pickups were hot. I would suggest a Fender Squire HSS Strat pack. I think you would be much happier w/ that
