So, I thought I'd post this one up, as it's something a bit different - Epiphone ES-339 Pro, in Pelham Blue. I've actually had it about 2 weeks, but it arrived the Tuesday before I had 4 assignments due in the space of a week, so I've only just had a chance to set it up properly and get some pics.
I'd been looking into getting a semi-hollow for a while now, but was a bit concerned about the size of the Dot / other 335-type bodies, as I'm only a short guy. I saw a size comparison of a 335 against a 339, and figured that made a bit more sense - and then as soon as I saw Epi was doing the Pro as a limited edition in Pelham Blue, I knew I had to fulfil all of my Dave Grohl-wannabe fantasies. And yes, this one has been bought purely on looks, rather than feel/sound - but thankfully, I'm really happy with both of those as well.

I was actually expecting the finish to be more acrylic/solid, but you can still see the grain of the wood, which is even better I think:

Now to get my playing up to a suitably worthy standard!
