Depends on what sound you are after, mate of mine has a couple of Ibanez 335 style guitar and they are great, very versatile. the Electromatics on the other hand have the instant twangy sound, very good value for money, my dads got one and i thought it was the best sounding guitar ever, until he bought a 6120 re-issue. (thats why theres a price difference!). Tried a couple of peerless guitars and they are ace too, although you could try and get an old Antoria off ebay? i've got a Jazzstar which is loosely based on a Gibson L-5. they wer made in the late 70's / early 80's. mine sounds lovely, jazzy, fat & warm. Good luck!
