strat concept is gone again!

OK, I"m thinking again of not going down fender alley. i'm liking my epiphone dot so much that i'm beginning to be a fan of semi-hollow guitars. and the 24.75 scale length is much more comfortable than fender's 25.5.

so what would I get instead? a gibson 335 is just too much. there is the gibson es-137, which goes for about 2 thousand. it's a semi-hollow with a les paul shape. the cheapest made in usa gibson semi-hollow. maybe next summer, after another semester of studies.....

i guess i've switched camps and joined the gibson crowd. i still like fender amps, however, and I'll stay with them for now.
