I've been looking for a (semi)hollow body with a 15" or under lower bout and a 1-3/4" nut, and a scale length of around 25".

I have narrowed it down to either an Eastman T184MX (14") or T185MX (15"). I tried an Eastman T486, and while the neck is comfortable, it has a 16" lower bout, and that's not comfortable for me. It looks like all the Eastman laminates are 16" and 24.75" scale.

I play mostly rhythm guitar - blues, rockabilly, country, old rock.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried both, and what difference they think there is in tone. It's hard to find either one of them around here.

Thanks.
