I've had half an eye out for a single pickup hollowbody for a little while to practice my jazz chords on, and I spotted Andertons had these marked down from £499 to £349. Apparently someone called James Bay owns one of the original 1966 models which has prompted Epiphone to reissue these. Sounds pretty good, although it might benefit from a set up. Also it's red & everyone knows red guitars sound better.

Congrats, Pete - looks great, and can probably sound like whatever you want! Keith

Very smart Pete.
(As a slight aside, I’ve always found Anderton’s to be a good experience - at least on acoustics - not the biggest of shops or the widest range by a long chalk, but they’re good at what they do with what they have. Very patient and accommodating and happy to leave you to it.)

Nice guitar, lots of vintage style and hopefully, sound. Good buy. I'm surprised Andertons don't have a large stock of acoustics, they have a vast range of electrics. I love their Youtube vids, with Chappers and the Captain.

Very cool indeed I was aware of James Bay previouly so checked YouTube and he does play one. He also gets an absolutely insane amount of views and I seriously don't understand why Perhaps I'm just an old bloke Enjoy the new guitar Phil

I love their Youtube vids, with Chappers and the Captain. Yeah - they are very good at the social media stuff. This video from their other YouTube series 'Guitar Paradiso' was one of the things that convinced me to take a punt on the instrument.

Thanks all for the nice comments. It's not exactly the es125 of my dreams, but for a quarter of the price it will keep me going. I will endeavour to post some video just as soon as I get the hang of the longer scale

Nice guitar. I was looking at Godin 5th Avenues recently and this looks very similar.

PistolPete nice guitar but you said “Also it's red & everyone knows red guitars sound better.” didn’t you mean sunburst?

Well PistolPete there’s no denying that you have put together a gallery of fine guitars and players, but just imagine what they could have achieved with sunburst instruments

PistolPete joking aside I am a little envious of your new guitar and am anticipating some sound clips in the near future
