I Love my 335, but I hate the way it sounds playing jazz. I use this guitar primarily for blues playing. I love my peerless monarch, but it is not versatile enough, it has only the neck pick up. I just liquidated a bunch of effects pedals and other gear, and to my surprise everything sold well and quickly over the past week. I now have $1000 and I’m looking for a new arch top that will do both blues and jazz equally well.
Looking for suggestions on a 16 inch arch top with dual humbuckers. Full hollow, prefer cutaway (Venetian or Florentine), and Prefer over 2”depth. It doesn’t have to be new and it can be below $1k. I’ve looked at Ibanez, Epiphone, D’Angelico and others and I just can’t decide! I like a classic woody tone, i enjoy playing the blues and trad jazz. Any suggestions appreciated.
thanks

A used Peerless/Eastman with two pickups?
[Or, save some money and mess with your amp some more to dial in sounds you like! Plenty of fine jazz played on a 335!]
Have fun!

Save another $1,000 and get a Gibson ES-175. It will be like having money in the bank and you will never have to trade up.

Or a used Epiphone ES-175 Premium (has the Gibson Classic 57 humbuckers)
-
Maybe a Godin 5th Ave Kinpin II (either the P90 or the humbucker version) would fit the bill.

A used peerless monarch fits that bill. Or a used Epi premium es175.
