I am interested to try a semi hollow 335 style Eastman, T486 or T386, possibly T59v. Shoot your offers!

    T64V (Casino style) is also pretty awesome. 
    Well worth a look.

    If you must have one, I felt the 59v was the one.

    I've got a T486 and it's a great guitar.  Couldn't really ask for more at the price.

    I have a T64/v and a T58/v. I genuinely prefer the T64/v to the 10 ES-330's that I've had. Not saying that it's better, just that I prefer it. The T58/v is also excellent. I'm very impressed with Eastman guitars.

    I had a T486 and it was a beautifully built, great sounding thing. Just wish I could have got on with the wide nut.

    Been sorely tempted to give the T64v a go but worried I'm gonna end up in the same boat and moving it on after wrestling with it for a few months. Damn my curséd midget fingers....

    The T64 feels very compact for me. The T58 is a very chunky vintage feeling neck, the closest thing that I've had to the 1948 ES-300 that I had. The T64 feels very manageable and dinky compared to an ES-335.

    I might be willing to let my T59v go. Bought it last year but find I'm moving away from humbuckers and prefer single coils/P90's. And I do miss it not having a bigsby.

    It's in perfect condition with hard case etc. Ironically I think I'd prefer a T64 in terms of the P90s and the bigsby option, but do prefer a chunky neck too. In two minds though as it really is a stunning guitar and better than the two ES335s that I've had in the past.

    This is a beauty! T59 may be out of my budget, but I'll be interested to hear the offer should you decide to sell this one.

    No problem themanseven. Would probably be after £1300

    Do bear in mind that new models are now using a narrower nut - at least in some instances/

    It would be nice to get one of these. I am a little concerned about nut width, now supported by @Dontgiveupyourdayjob 's experience. I have rather small fingers (don't parallel with other limbs please), and for that same reason I didn't buy T486 that was sold here a couple of month ago. Though I don't normally use my thumb to fret low E, except for Sharp dressed man riff.

    Seems reasonable, I'd be happy to discuss if you decide to part with it.
