I don't normally do this kind of thread, but feel I ought to mark the passing of arguably the greatest of the '60s generation of white Blues guitarists. Time catches up with us all I guess, but a sad day for both guitarists and Blues lovers nevertheless.

I'm heavily leaning towards the epiphone EJ-200SCE in black , not buying for a couple of months yet so shall see if anything else tickles my fancy.

Tanglewood started off as a lower-price affair, but have streadily grown into a full range of imnpressive stuff, including higher end guitars. Their top end stuff I'd put up against anything in a similar price band. As for Epiphones, well... as I always say of any particular Epiphone, the relevant Gibson will be twice the guitar, for five or ten times the money. Up to you at hat ponit along the alw of diminishing returns scale you jump off the train... I can't claim to have based this on anything as I've not handled any of the 2020s yet, but I have a suspicion that Epiphone might just be very concertedly upping the ante as of these last few months, having been facing an awful lot of competition from some very good price-band alternatives in recent years. The new brooms at Gibson seem to be a lot more intune with the market than the previous admin.
