I've also just seen the T186MX is in stock on the website for the London shop David N mentioned.
It's a fair bit more expensive but I'm intrigued as to whether the solid mahogany back + sides will give it that same acoustic characteristics as it does to an acoustic guitar - that warmth that I love. (Most of you will cringe at this but it could also be less revealing of my mistakes and bum notes !)
In UK£, the price is £2.3k which versus £3.5k for a flame topped Gibson 335, made (I believe) of laminate, seems to represent good value. I wonder if the difference in tone between the T186 and T59 is night and day.
Thanks for all your advice. I will let you know once I have been and tried them out
