Wide neck 335-style guitar?
Does anyone know where to acquire an ES-335-style semi-hollow electric with a wide neck (1 3/4) and wide (2 1/4 or even 2 3/16) string spacing? I know this is fairly easy for strats thanks to Warmoth and others, but I haven't been able to find anything similar for Gibsons/Epiphones. Thanks!

Wow, for some reason I thought Eastman only did acoustics. Thanks so much!

Their T386 is a sweet little guitar with a nice wide neck and string spacing. I love mine.

I have the Eastman T386. Thought about selling it recently (in fact it's posted for sale here) but having a hard time letting go. Fantastic guitar.
Agile also makes a 335 style with a wide neck option. I believe they are pretty well made also but don't have the beautiful nitro finish and also the body shape isn't quite right. I'd go for the Eastman.

Are these jazz-only guitars? It seems like every T386 review I've found has somebody playing an array of jazz tunes. Much as I love jazz, I'm after something with a 335's versatility and singing blues tone. Perhaps the YouTube community is underselling the T386 by pigeonholing the demo-videos into one music style (sort of like how so many dreadnought reviews involve endless bluegrass reels)?
Thanks for the input!

Not at all. They'll cover a lot of ground from Beach Boys to Steely Dan to Foo Fighters, and a lot of points in between, handily. Very flexible guitars if you're willing to experiment with them and learn.
