 I'm not much of an expert but I can tell you that I've heard jazz being played on very simple, inexpensive guitars. Ibanez and the Epiphones you mentioned seem to be popular choices. You can get a pretty fancy hollowbody for $700 nowadays. My personal favourite around that price range is the Gretsch G5120: Amazon.com: Gretsch G5120 Electromatic® - Sunburst 6-string Hollowbody Cutaway Guitar: Musical Instruments |

| Vihar has it. My favorite is Ibanez. For under $700 (USD) you can get a very well functioning archtop. If I was in the market with $700, I would have an Ibanez and not be concerned about it one bit.

| If you can try a Hofner HCT J17. It's a great guitar for the money. I like it more than my Epiphone Broadway. Check it out.
