Is Epiphone ES-175 strictly for jazz?
I wanna play jazz but I also wanna play Carlos Santana-type of rockish songs and Bossa Nova as well. So basically I want a guitar that can give all of the below:
1) creamy sound
2) acoustic sound
3) rockish sound
Should I opt for the jazzy ES-175 or the more versatile, crossover guitar ES-335? Or is it that which guitar doesn’t matter because it’s the right amp and setting that matter?
BTW I only intend to play for my own.

If you don’t mind uncontrollable feedback for the rock stuff (while he may not use this any longer, “back in the day” the rock frontman Ted Nugent used to accost- I mean, play- a Gibson Byrdland, which is a thinline hollow body guitar; you might consider giving his early solo albums and the Amboy Dukes for a sample of what this might sound like), the ES-175 gets the nod- the hollow body will give you the warmer sound. The ES-335 is a semi-hollow body that has far fewer cubic inches in the “box” part of the guitar (in actuality there are two boxes- one either side of the center block) so it won’t feed back, but the acoustic sound quality isn’t quite as robust.
Try ‘em both to hear this for your own two ears- then trust your ears.
