    cool Ideas.

    the 135 is very George Thorogood.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I also really dig the split diamond inlays on the 137. I just like way too many guitars. I need a band to settle my guitar swapping down.

    Then I can actually play the things and make some music.

    New list
    R6, R4 oxblood, 135, 137C, whatever I see next... (I wish I was kidding)

    because of the bigger bodies you may have feedback issues. I've always thought of the 137 as more of a jazz box, then again, you see the stones kicking around stuff like that too even some older L-6's so nothing, is wrong really, and Gretsch's are pretty big too.

    Gretsch's are big. I agree. I figure a Gretsch sounds pretty good with a bassman, so these likely would as well.

    Just ideas right now.

    "Gibson modernized the single-cutaway thinbody guitar in the 1990s with the addition of a solid centerblock"

    That would reduce at least a fair amount of feedback right there. It means it's a semi-hollow, not a true hollow, but still...
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
