yes, now is an amazing time to get a cheap and very cheerful hollow body. they are coming back in fashion as you might say. if you can get hold of a copy of guitar magazine, july edition, this year in england so dunno if you'll be able to get it, but it has a massive section on hollow bodies.
for £610 you can get a Epiphone Wildkat, which has the best review out of the guitars in between £329 and £610 (6 reviews in there) but if you got more money to burn you could get Gibson ES 333 (basically a stripped down version of the 335) for £1555. but thats pretty damn expensive.

the Epi Wildkat has P90 pickups so the tone is going to be nice, in the review it says:

"we could hardly tear ourselves away from the rhythm mode for muted, acoustic-stlye damping, sweet highs and twangy, surfy bass; a setting so warm you could huddle around it at festivals"

and to top it off it is also a very nice lookin guitar.
The sun is shining the weather is sweet
