You might want to check out an Epiphone hollow body. I read in the forum once that they are near as good as a Gibson.. They all depend on how well they set up.
I would suggest that you try all of them at your guitar store. I tried a couple of Gretch guitars and to me the necks were rough on the fret side and chunky diameter.. Not my taste. I have a Tele that was suitable for my price range. My ultimate guitar would be a PRS..
Good luck and happy hunting..
