There is a Tremonti SE selling locally around £100 squid, half tempted. It appears to be a decent LP type with a wrapover when all is said and done.

thats a bit of a bargain. theyre nice guitars. bit vee-shaped lower down the neck too, which suprised me a bit. nice neck, chunky in a good way.

My friend has a tremonti se, it's a great guitar. At that price it'd be a no-brainer, if you don't like it you can always flip it for a profit!
