My hollow body guitars are an Ibanez Artcore AG75TBS (trapeze tail piece), and a Peavey JF2 EXP (Bigsby vibrato tail piece). I'd tried several Ibanez Artcore AFS75T's, as well as a Gretsch Electromatic G5120, when I was looking for a hollow body with vibrato (a rockabilly box). For what I was going for, the Ibanez wasn't quite right, but it's a good bang-for-the-buck hollow body. I loved the Gretsch, especially through
a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 410, but it lost the "fight" for my available dollars (at the time) to a used Fender Bass VI. I ended up buying the Peavey several months later, having tried it when it was new, then happening across it with the used gear, at the same store.
Another that I've tried, that you might consider, is the Epiphone AlleyKat. The same as with the Ibanez, the Epiphone AlleyKat is a good bang-for-the-buck hollow body, but it just wasn't right for me. I can also say, from experience (immediately after having tried the Gretsch), stay away from the Carlo Robelli hollow body guitars. When I switched from the Gretsch to the Carlo Robelli, as soon as I took the amp off stand-by, feedback from hell ensued that absolutely was not an issue when the Gretsch was plugged in.
Before I forget, and if you don't necessarily need a vibrato, there's
the Peavey JF1 EXP.
