There's a few others that are slim line semis I'd suggest Sted -
Gibson ES345 which is less popular and you might be able to get it a bit cheaper than an ES335 if you look around. Normally they see for more though. In a simlar manner maybe a 355 or a Lucille and the Howard Roberts Fusion (not a double cut though). Ibanez George Benson and Pat Metheny signatures- there's a couple of different versions around and I think they are all single cut rather than double though the Metheny does have a shallow cut in to the top horn. Yamaha SA2200 - well made and I think very similar to a 335 but cheaper. Vox HDC77 - nicely made and a bit different. Not sure if it'll devalue badly though. If you can find them and are happy with a used guitar- Guild make/made some nice double cut semis in the 70s and 80s. I think they were called something like Starfire... Rickenbacker or Gretch if you want a sort of Beatles/Byrds type vibe. If you have lots of money Collings make some nice semi but they cost about 2x more than an ES335 -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Check out Ibanez JS signature model, maybe You can get it used for decent money? Otherwise the whole series of AS guitars from Ibanez is very good and comparable to Gibson for less money.
//Staffay EDIT: I own both a AS-200 (3/4 of the 335) and a GB10 (George Benson Signature), and they are both awesome guitars in every detail. New, they will cost You similar to a 335 though..... //Staffay This post has been edited by Staffy: May 30 2010, 12:37 PM -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

I heard this Gretsch Brian Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Guitar which sounded so sweet! Don't know about its price, but its a cool full hollow body guitar!

Just a thought - a couple to maybe avoid if you come across them on ebay Sted are IMHO the Gibson ES125 and 175. If I remember correctly both are laminate tops and I think they're without the lock of maple that sits in the centre of the 335 etc under the arch top. Without it they're much more prone to feedback.
I agree about the look of the vox - one reason why i kind of doubt that it will hold its value. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer. Contact me for Audio Mastering Services and Advice and visit our website www.miromastering.com

For that much money you should check out in detail Ibanez hollowbody range, they seem good too.
But if you ask me, if that Gibson is good - go for it. Gibson is Gibson, they rarely make mistakes in production - build quality is somewhat guaranteed. Just be sure to check the guitar in DETAIL when you try it. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
