Whilst I'm toying between buying a replacement piano or buying another electric guitar to complement my Tele, I initially found myself wanting a Hagstrom Viking but then came round to the idea of an Epiphone 339 pro. Checked out the reviews and videos and really liked the tone of it.

However, I played it briefly and as I've not before played a Gibson/Epiphone before, I found the neck not as near as comfortable as my Classic Vibe Squier Tele. Is it a case of just coming round to a different profile? It felt like playing my acoustic! Didn't win me over with feel, even if I liked the tone.

What would you do??

In the end,bought myself a new digital piano instead! I came to the conclusion that at present, I love playing my Tele and it suits for what I want from it. If I bought something not as playable it would spend more time in the gig bag than in my hands. Did see a beautiful Yamaha acoustic guitar though....

Budget creep occurred on the Digital Piano, started off around £1k, ended up doubling it!
