Personally if I were you I would buy a Samick Royale 1 or 2. You can buy them new or slightly used from 200-400 dollars online, ebay, and many other local stores.
Has a FANTASTIC jazz tone for the price and is an absolutely beautiful guitar. I own the RL2 and it has never failed me. Not to mention made quite well. The only downside is the pickups are not the best. Although if your really dissatisfied (which I doubt you will be) you can just buy some new one for not to much more $.

This is my RL2 that I got for 250. Sounds and feels wonderful.
