I have to confess, too, that I'm a little shallow that way. That's how I ended up with the 135. I fell in love with that bright red beauty.
The only aesthetic sticking point for me was, I thought that the "ES-135" script on the headstock looked cheesey.
For whatever reason, I'm one of those players who can plug in just about any guitar and sound like me.
And I think that 98% of tone is a combination of amp and fingers.
When I listen to gig recordings, I often can't tell if I'm playing my Epi ZBD, ES-225, Dalelectro or Tele.
So, for better or worse, I need a guitar with a good set-up that plays relatively well, and when I look down I want to see a cool-looking guitar.
I think a big part of my enjoyment is playing an instrument that I'm enamored with.
It sure isn't the $62 at the end of the gig that keeps me going!
