1. Epiphone Inspired By 1966 century £499

An oddity from Epi’s mid-60s catalogue, this has had a recent boost thanks to James Bay, who uses it as his main guitar. Like the 125 you mention, it has a goodly dollop of acoustic in its electric, but is lighter and brighter-sounding than the ol’ Gib. Check out the Guild T-50 Slim, too.
