Recommandations for Hollowbodies for $600 and under?

[Wrogsprit]

I would prefer if it has 19 or 20 frets. I have a Gretsch Rat Rod. I don't like the way it sounds unplugged, and I think it's too bright even with the tone rolled off. It's also around 7 or 7.5 pounds. I would prefer something lighter. I am considering trading or selling it to get something around the same price.

I am considering an Epiphone Joe Pass, but they're discontinued now. I like the sunburst ones, but they seem to be the hardest ones to find at a reasonable price. I can find a lot of natural ones for around $600. I was also considering a Cort Yorktown, but I can't seem to find any reasonably priced listings.

I don't want to take a risk on cheap hollowbodies like Johnson or Glen Burton. I tried out a bunch at a local store and most had neck angle issues.

I see Godin 5th Ave guitars listed on Reverb right now in your price range. There's new ones on Sweetwater where they list the weight. I see one at 5.5 lbs. I have two of the newer TL (thinline) models and I very happy with those guitars.
