To all, thanks for the compliments. I truly love this guitar and feel it's going to get me past beginner level and beyond. I can't put the thing down. It just plays and sounds great. I took it to my lesson today and my instructor was floored how well the thing sounds. So was I. He gets a little more out of it.

Nice get!

Maybe you could find a used Epiphone ES 175 and try it for a while. I find that I prefer the bigger bodies. It started with my Epiphone Dot. I try smaller guitars, first a strat and then a tele. While I like both styles and would love to have the strat back(I'm a fool for selling it). I always gravitate back to the Dot. The 175 I find to be extremely comfortable and see it taking me on a journey for quite some time. Almost makes the tele feel like a toy.

I played a 56 es125 with a single p90 last year at Chicago Music Exchange. Man was that sweet. IMHO it blew away several new Fender custom Teles... "hot rodded", a new nocaster. All thru same amp at same settings. Just a great great time period for Gibby ESs. Esp with the P90. I should have bought that 125.

Chicago Music Exchange is a place to stay away from for the weak.
Apparently you were able to walk away unscathed.
I too, find the P90's to be killer pick ups and look forward to grow with them. I probably could have gotten my hands on an ES 125 from my first marriage. My ex father in-law had one hanging up on the wall in his basement. He garbage picked it. Unfortunately I wasn't interested in it at the time and was unaware of what it really was. I mean, I knew it was a Gibson, but thought of it more as a cheappie student model.
