Best Bang For Buck ES
This guitar is a pretty well kept secret. I have owned it for about half a year and I love it. It cost me $1500 CAD, which is an absolute steal considering that the only difference between it and a 335 is no headstock inlay, 490R and 490T pickups and a maintenance port (cheaper maintenance). I would recommend this guitar to anyone looking to buy a semi-hollow. It sounds GREAT and it looks even better with the cream binding. On a number of occasions people have confused my guitar with a real vintage es. It plays like a dream, it has a nice wide neck with a medium/thick profile. It plays better than most new Gibsons I've played. Summary: Sounds great, looks great, plays great, costs little.

they sued to be a well kept secret, trading used for under a grand in USD... now people are hip to them and they've really gone up. When new they cost about what you paid or less as I recall.
