Well, ordered. In Black.

Amazon has them at a good price. So I said fuckit.

Pics coming soon once it arrives.

Tracking number received, much excite. Looks like they used UPS Second Day Air, which is really unusual for Puerto Rico shipments. Good thing I opted to have it shipped to my office

Looks like I bought it at the perfect time, since the price went up today.

"out for delivery"... and just my luck, I left on business travel today. But fortunately, it's a quick trip, so I should be able to get the guitar tomorrow or saturday

Although I wish they had tried to replicate the original bridge, I still really like the look of these.

Interested in your feedback on how it plays.

I don't mind the bridge as much as I do the smaller body shape. Playing one felt more like one of those little es-339 things, which I also can't stand (though I get that others like them)

Black was a good choice! I managed to get a vintage one the other day. Still haven't tried out one of the reissues to see how they compare.

What does the extra knob do?

I didn't realise the body was smaller although I saw some comparison pics showing it was a slightly different shape in places. Think Punkacc9 might have posted them?

Always thought the ES-339s were a bit odd. Seemed like a good idea but they just look wrong somehow.

It's a master volume.

could a bigsby fit on one of these? cause in my head it looks nice with a bigsby.

I think I would rather fuckapenis than put a bigsby on my starcaster

I always felt like Bigbys had too much weight and are kinda clunky. Prefer the Bronco or Jaguar Trem but it does look cool on hollowbody guitars.
