Stromberg Monterey

[Sada Yairi]

Anyone played one of these? Similar to a 335 but a single-cut with humbucker-size P90s. I've read lots of positive reviews but I'm looking for more input. One of the options I'm considering for a full-bodied tone, semi-hollow guitar for blues and jazz, and a bit of light rock. Your thoughts?

Are you still looking for a guitar? Man, just buy the first one you see and rock out! ;-)

Yes I am still looking! If I'm gonna spend $1000 on a guitar, and probably keep it 20 years (like the last 2 guitars I bought), then I wanna make sure I'm getting exactly what I want! I'm not some rich guy that can buy ten guitars and not play any of them. I've narrowed down the options, but this Stromberg was suggested today and they seem pretty special.

And don't worry about me rocking out - I'm still using my old 335 copy to get used to this whole electric caper, while my beautiful Sada Yairi sits lonely in its case...
