These are my "first" (primary) instruments - University-level trained, blah blah blah etc.. So, me, too.

My primary instruments, too. No real training, tho. A couple of months of piano lessons is all.
I've been at it for over 60 years.

I'd prolly still be playing my Jacksons, BC Richs, and Ibanezes. Maybe sprung for a Gibson ES 335 or Super 500. If not that... maybe a D'angelico. Something gretschy. Or whatever Brian Setzer was playing at the time.

Had to look up that second one, if it plays well, $1800 is certainly a great price for that detailed of a custom body. Not sure you could get a more appropriate surf rock guitar.

It’s pretty cool but there’s no demos on it. I’d be buying it blindly

I'd probably have a few more Teles, and a few more Guilds. No effect on the number of Gibsons, Rics, or anything else I currently have.

Epiphone, Elitist Sheraton for me. Never even thought about selling it.

My '82 Schecter Tele and '82 Gibson ES-335 have served me well through four decades of gigging. No need for anything else but I always had a hankering for a Gretsch, particularly a Duo Jet or Country Gentleman. In the days before the Electromatic range was launched Gretsch guitars were even more expensive than Gibson in the UK so they remained an unjustifiable expense. A compromise came several years ago when I fitted Filtertrons to a partscaster Tele. Then finally a couple of years ago I 'accidentally' acquired two proline Duo Jets (a 53VS and a CLFG). They were a long time coming and very welcome but without them the Schecter and Gibson would still meet all my needs.

I normally bounce between my Gent, my ES335 and my Tele (General Lee) in that order. Guess I'd continue to bounce, but perhaps not quite as high...
Mini humbuckers. Makes a lot of sense.
