Man fuck you guys, if the guy on OSG (Shane: yes it's Pat) is willing to hold onto his ES-345 clone until June or July, I will be getting a damn nice guitar for not a lot of money.
I can't even remember if that thing has a Bigsby or not, lawl. (edit: no it does not. Trapeze tailpiece. See below)
Edit: HEY YOU FUCKERS LOOK WHAT I AM BUYING IN JUNE OR JULY
El Degas ES-345 clone. "Lawsuit" guitar. Full-hollowbody, 2 humbuckers, varitone switch, and oh my GOD what a gorgeous instrument. 22 frets and the neck 'bucker is placed properly instead of in a shitty SG-esque spot well away from the sweet spot. No fret buzz anywhere, according to the guy selling her. He replaced the tuners with Grovers, a major improvement on the original tuners. Bolt-on neck, so it's not quite a proper ES-345, but it's not like I could ever be pegged as a sustain junkie (I play a Jaguar for shit's sake).
I cannot WAIT until I can get this fucker paid for. Like, I REALLY can't wait.

Today I played some guitars at a fun shop in Santa Fe, where I am currently on spring break. My favorite was a very attractive dreadnought acoustic-electric, a Blueridge BR-60CE. I've been looking for a mid-range acoustic-electric for college, and my dad hinted that if I really like this one he might finance the purchase. This guitar is pretty awesome, one of the most comfortable acoustics I've played. The finish is gourgeous, and the tone is really nice: nice definition in the attack without being too tinny and a lot of resonance. I've yet to try it plugged in, but the pickup and preamp are Fishman so I'm guessing it'll be good, and I'm going back sometime soon to try it.
Here's the pic from the company website:

Got this one a year ago. The Fender Sonoran SCE acoustic-electric, mahogany neck and body, rosewood fingerboard, 20 frets, dreadnought, sweet as a peach, deep as the Buddha smoking hookah. Plays like a 'lectric, sounds pristine plugged in. greenMonkey, if you get the chance, I recommend at least checking it out before purchasing anything else.
