I want a Gibson Les Paul Tribute in Honeyburst. That line is an American made instrument with weight relief, no binding, and a satin finish. (I much prefer satin to gloss, especially on the neck). Same pickups as a full blown Les Paul. Absolutely gorgeous IMO. Retails for $1300.

Very nice. I’d like a J-185 but I don’t think it’s at the top of my list right now. I’ve been looking at getting a new ES 335 but inventory is low all around.
I have a 66 black 335 with the trapeze tailpiece I'll sell ya...block inlays....won't be cheap though...through a 50 watt Marshall it sounds like the whole 60's Brit blues invasion is boiling out of the amp.

I’ve got a ‘71 and it’s marvelous. Looking to put it on light duty though. Missed out on the Jim James walnut 335s that came out about a month ago. Didn’t realize that only 300 were made and they sold out in less than a day. Kicking myself.

I've bought 5 guitars in the past calendar year after nothing for the ten years prior so I need to stop or the wife will go ham on some purses
My goal next year is to put a custom Kiesel in the works and maybe do some moving around of some extras especially if something good pops up on Reverb.

I’ve been toying with buying a new acoustic guitar for a while. My church is looking for a more modern music service offerings. I’m trying to decide between a Gibson, Martin, or Taylor to buy and use for service.

I came across this website this morning, and now I'm wanting something new to build. They have just about any kit you could want to build.

How hard are they to assemble and how good do they sound?

Did recently go with this and have been well pleased.
Crossrock 2020 Deluxe - Fiberglass, not the highest quality, but a step up from a poly case, nearly waterproof, and pretty hard.

I've only done 1 guitar from a kit. That was a les paul jr., it turned out real well and sounds better than I expected. Plays great. You may want to upgrade the electronics that come with the kit.
Mine was really easy to put together, just followed their Instructions and took care. Did a lot of taping and sanding.

Check out Eastman too, you can get the same quality and materials (IMO) for half the $$.
And I've had 5 Martins.

If you're just looking for a 335-style guitar in that price range and not a build project in particular, you should look at an Ibanez Artcore (like an AS-73). You can get one for not much more than that especially considering you'll have to probably pay for other things like paint. Also, Artcores I think are set necks whereas the kit will be bolt-on.

Not new, but the transformer in my crusty old Peavey Classic 30 has died, and the PCB has been patched up a couple times. My amp guy has stripped all the Peavey stuff out and hand-wired a Deluxe 5E3 circuit into it. Picking it up tonight.

The kit is a set neck.
