Let's do this backwards: what guitar for my new pickups??

[AniML]

I just got a good BF deal on a set of new Seths, at 25% off. Now I need a guitar for them .. strictly for at-home playing.

Thinking of getting an Epi ES-335, but open to other ideas. I know a Les Paul is an obvious recommendation, but that said, I need something no more than ~8lbs.

Budget is soft capped at ~$1000.. go..

Change it up and buy a San Dimas Tele.

Try out a bunch of guitars in person and see what inspires you. Don't let the traditional thinking of "oh these pickups always sound good in this" paint you into a box of what type of instrument you want

Squier Classic Vibe 70s Thinline Tele would kinda cool

Yes, I have a San Dimas FR strat and a So Cal HT strat. That would be a great addition to the family, if my OCD will allow for the pole spacing.

Did that.. its how I landed on the Epi. I also have an itch for the forthcoming PRS SE Swam Ash Special https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SASSEIB--prs-se-swamp-ash-special-electric-guitar-iris-blue
