Im thinking about a guitar and I liked the looks and the 'videos' of this guitar -
Kay Vintage Reissue Thin Twin

► Show Spoiler

Im more of a singer/rhythm player so I dont use o/d etc. How do You think would this be appropriate one ?

Maybe? It isn't really possible to tell other people's taste, but I suspect it sounds a bit dark because it's hollow. Hard to find and expensive too.

yea, you are right, sorry for the silly question. I just wanted to chat about my "ideas" : D
But you must be true about the dark sound etc..

Except those aren't lipsticks.

That is just the metal blade, the pickups are under the scratchplate, like an iceberg.

But they did sound good in the demos and Jimmy Reed recordings.
