As an aside, I’m either getting that ES-345 or a Fender Blues Jr amp.
Lis went with me to GC and I tried out almost all of the Hollow and Semi Hollows. They all sound OK, but the hum buckers aren’t any better (actually worse) than my Telecaster Seymour Duncan’s. So, I tried different amps. Some Blackstars were cool but the Blues Jr was so fucking crisp. Played some blues riffs and someone came over. That’s never happened
Honestly, as shy as I am, I’m proud of myself for playing in public
