Isn't she a beauty? I had a choice of this or a really ugly Epi Les Paul junior for about the same price, and I figured that I could play the semi-hollow body without plugging in, and it was really such a more attractive instrument.

But I don't know what I've got here. . . You can see the brand is Shelter, USA and says "Chicago" and "hand crafted" although many of you know I'm in Asia at the moment (see map of Pakistan on wall).

Clearly it's a copy, but of what? It looks vaguely like an ES 335, but there's no pick guard, and the head looks sort of like an Ibanez. The price was under $300, so I didn't go that far out on a limb. I've googled but there's no Shelter guitars web page.

Can anyone comment on this axe?

Tell Me is one of the message boards on the It's Only Rock N' Roll Website. There is a link the site's news section on the main page of our board, here.

Tell Me is a great board and full of helpful and insightful regulars - many of whom know their guitars. Many here post there, too.

I have quite a few, mostly Gibson acoustics and f-holes (I love that word), but here are two of the more recent acquisitions.

Now don't knock the Epis, dammit...lol. I think she is pretty and she plays very well. My Ebony Custom Les Paul Epi.

And my newest lady, a Tobacco Sunburt Gibson 1960 RI Les Paul. She is sweet, but heavy as hell. After about 20 minutes, it's like "Ok, let's take the damn strap off and sit down now".

I ordered my 72 Tele custom reissue ages ago. Some backlog at Fender has meant instead of it being in my grubby little hands right now, i have to wait until freaking early Feb!!! I knew i should have waited until i went to America.

But, having said that, there is nothing stopping me buying another Tele in less than 9 weeks.

Maybe a American Standard.
