    I think Shiner had one until recently. I know all of the guys on the electric side at Washburn liked them. They would do mods to it, but they would mod an $8,000 Gibson if they had one.

    I'm not familiar with pricing, so I'm not sure what is a good deal. Is it an ebay/craiglist/local shop or...?

    Go over to the Washburn electric section and do a search in the electric section. You might be able to get some good info. Did you try Harmony Central?

    Got it. Like it. Although my Gretsch has found it's way into my #1 slot

    Probably won't be getting rid of my HB-30 anytime soon. Good for bluesy/jazzy stuff, classic country pickin' and can rawk pretty heavey too. Not a shredder's guitar, but I wouldn't think a semi-hollow would be
    Electrics: Hagstrom Ultra Swede (Gold Eagle Burst) Gretsch 5120 Electromatic (Orange) Custom Nashville Blackout Telecaster (Black, Stat mid/neck p'ups; Lil Puncher (Modern Vintage) bridge p'up; Wilkinson Compensated Bridge w/ 3 brass saddles, Warmoth Vintage Modern Birdseye Maple Neck) Fender MIM Stratocaster (Blue Agave, Rosewood Fretboard, Fender Tex-Mex p'ups; GFS Trem/Block Kit) Highland Spitfire (semi-hollow, flame maple top w/ bubinga inlay)
    Acoustics:Washburn D10CEQSB, Yamaha FG160E
    Bass: Westone Spectrum ST, Warwick Rockbass Corvette Basic Active
    Amps: Vox NT15H/V112NT Night Train, Peavey Bandit 112, Hartke HyDrive 210C Bass Amp, Vox DA5

    If you don't get this one, also consider an Epi Dot. You can pick up some good deals on a used one. My Dot is the least expensive of my guitars, but remains my favorite.

    You wouldn't get an argument from me about that.
    Beats me why anyone would pass up a brand-new, quality-built, full-featured 335/Dot for $399 (Studio model $299)?

    Epidots for everyone!
