Righty, I want a change of gear, so I'm selling off my Gibson SG and Epi Les Paul (any takers?

) and wanting something new.

I have no idea what I want. Been thinking of something that will compliment my telecaster, possibly semi-hollow or chambered. Been looking at the Gretsch eletromatic series, namely the duo jet or double jet with bigsby's.

So I'm looking for something interesting thats semi/chambered and around £450. Oh and a decent scale length would be nice, something longer than a LP would be very sexy.

superstrat scale/shape e.t.c... humbuckers, two f-holes if i remember correctly. the one i played in soundcontrol ages ago was pretty nice.

Electromatic Jets are fun. Great guitars to mod. But the're not as heavliy chambered as the professional line Jets.

Some other cool semi hollows are the Epiphone Alleykat and Wildkat.

Think I've narrowed it down to something chambered, so no big jazzers for me. Nice guitars, just not my thang.
