Have yo considered a Telecaster? I know you fancy a semi, but Teles are nice all-rounders that can do wiry wiry mod stuff and more gnarly rocky stuff when required. They also look the part!

My only proviso would be to shop around for a neck profile that suits you.

Got one already...just fancy something different too

If you can stretch your budget a little (they may also come down a bit), then this little guitar will wipe the floor with anything else in its range

There was a thread on here recently about reasonably priced 12 strings. Now that is very 60s and suitably different.

Ahh, reminded me - Italia Rimini. No idea what they are like to play but definitely tick the 60s and different boxes. Seen them advertised for £495 new, normally much more than that.

Someone I know might have a mint and heavily upgraded - nothing original except the body and neck - Sheraton for sale.

Spec includes a pair of Stormy Mondays, Tone Pros locking bridge and locking tailpiece, locking Grovers and a new 50's style harness and pots.  Sunburst with case.  And a three ply black and white pickguard from JIS.

I have a 2016 sheraton, it’s a very good guitar but it’s very heavy and the body is quite large. If you’re playing Oasis and OCS will you be using amp distortion or a pedal? I find it feedbacks a lot using pedals but not as bad using the pre amp knob on the amp. I usually don’t use the coil tap/split but using the split bridge pickup but it sounds quite like a Tele, so very versatile. When I was buying it people recommended buying an old Korean one however they don’t exist in wine red so I went with the Chinese reissue. A hofner verythin is also a very good looking mod guitar but I haven’t played one.

I’ll be using an M13 into a clean Katana (currently)....interesting it feeds back...was hoping with the centre block it wouldn’t be too bad. Wine red would be ideal, but if possible I’d probably prefer the Korean one like my LP.

Hofner Verythin....another good shout

If you’re playing at bedroom levels it doesn’t feed back, and that’s through my old solid state Marshall. It was feed backing when I was playing through a cranked fender champion 100 with a boss DS1 on a low gain setting although the DS1 is known for being a noisy pedal.  A little feedback is good for playing things like oasis
