The Worn Wilshire
This recreation of the 1966 double cutaway looks promising. The easy access to the upper frets makes it great for solos. The mini humbuckers could put this right in the middle of the classic Gibson humbucker sound and the classic Fender single coil sound. I am eager to get my hands on one of these.
The Emperor Swingster
This Jazzy model breaks away from the stuffy Jazz box image. It looks like it has a little rockabilly bred into it. The swing bucker pickups look interesting too. My guess is this model would hold it’s own playing some Wes Montgomery, Brian Setzer, or even a little Ted Nugent.
The Greave yard Disciple
Ok, I love this one just for the pure campiness of it. A coffin shaped guitar is perfect for a punk band, a goth band, hell I’d probably play it at a blues gig just for fun. It has the standard EMG pickups and locking tremolo necessary for the metal heads in the crowd.

I think the first two are more expertly, and more aesthetically covered with the Gretsch Corvette and Gretsch 5120, both models well under 800.00 and even lower depending on who you call and which specific model you get.
I'm more intrigued by the new Les Pauls. They look promising. Every year I'm hoping they change the headstock shape to more of a Gibson one like they did on the Epiphone Tom DeLonge model.
