ES-330
ES-125 TDC
ES-225 TD (probably a re-issue unless I can find a decent vintage one)
ES-275 P90 (I sort of doubt I will be able to find one but they look sweet)
I am definitely leaning toward an ES-330 one reason is because they are easier to find and are still being made. My questions/concerns are mainly related to the neck profiles of these guitars. I definitely prefer a more slim profile (I love the feel of my Blueshawk) but it is not an absolute deal breaker for me. I know that the ES-330 came with different profiles over the years and I would assume the ES-125 and ES-225 had similar profiles over the years as well. Does anyone have any specific information on the neck profiles of these two models though? Also, what about the ES-225 reissue that they did around 2014? And does anyone have any info on the ES-275 neck profile? Anyone have an ES-275 P90? How do you like it?
As for the ES-330, I am leaning toward the 1961 reissue but could possibly go for an ES-330l (Long neck). I don't really want the bigsby on the 61 but would be ok with it as long as it doesn't affect the tone of the hollowbody too much. Any thoughts on this? Am I being paranoid? The ES-330l seems like a nice guitar but I don't really like some of the hardware (the tuners and the knobs mainly). The longer neck seems like it may come in handy and I believe it is a slim profile (anyone know?) but the shorter neck definitely isn't a deal breaker. I think the 61 would be perfect but I am just not sure how I feel about the bigsby. I really wish I could play an ES-330 before I spend money but I haven't found one at any shops around here. I actually called up one of the local Guitar Centers and asked if they had an ES-330 and the kid's like "Oh yeah, we have one of those and it is on sale for $1500" so I drive all the way down there and he pulls out an ES-335 studio! I was kind of peaved. Anyway, I feel like I am rambling now so I will shut up
