Epiphone Les Paul Studio Deluxe or Epiphone Explorer?

I am looking at saving up my detassling money to buy another guitar. I
play alot of hard rock and metal, such as AC/DC, Airbourne, Iron
Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, Stryper, Led Zeppelin, etc.
I'm trying to decide between the

Epiphone Les Paul Studio Deluxe(White)
