I use a Washburn HB35. It is just like a 335, only it is a Washburn. It has a much better feel than an epiphone. Epiphones feel like plastic. Even the les pauls(no capitals for emphasis. It is great for jazz and Chicago blues, not too mention southern jam bands.

If you're into jazz ( like Wes, George etc. ) then you probably want the look to go with the playability, so I can't believe you would be happy with a Strat or a Tele or even a 335 type, but, rather a big jazz box. As a jazzer for more than 40 years, I have had almost every box you can imagine: Byrdland, Tal, 175, Strat, Les, Tele and now a handmade, I could recommend an Epiphone Broadway as a very playable guitar which won't empty your wallet. For a little more money; an Eastman
Thank you for replying. I was wondering if the sheraton will do the job. Because i can't find the Broadway anywhere. I really wanted the es-175 but it is not available.

Guys, Come on, quit your guitar-geek mode and revere to the master playing!
Wes Rules.
On any guitar, the tone is in your hands.
And Ears.
This is about ART! Listen....
If you're on a <$1k budget, definitely check out the ibanez artcores. If you like a smaller neck, check out the epiphone es335-styled one. Get a decent tube amp. Fender blues jr is good on a tight budget. Put flatwound strings on the guitar, switch to the neck pickup, turn the tone down a little, that's it.

Hey man, I'd go for a nice Mexican standard strat. Less than half the price of an American, but it doesn't lack in quality. You can't beat the versatility of a strat. For jazz, a nice clean amp tone with the tone on the guitar rolled off to about 5 or 6 on the neck pickup sounds beautiful. For distortion, I use a tubescreamer with the tone on the guitar's neck pickup to full, or for heavier distortion use the bridge pickup.
id disagree on the strat for jazz. i have a strat and can tell you to get a decent tone for jazz overall the b and high e strings are almost inaudible compared to the others.

Well then you need to adjust your pickup height. That is not a serious problem.
