Well if you play blues rock like you mentioned then a semi-hollow body would be perfect. THere tone is typically much warmer than that of say a Les Paul. Not only that but they sound great for pretty much any other style. The only downside is that usually there much heavier and if your playing a gig that will really bother you.

In the end though you have to decide, in that sound isnt EVERYTHING. You have to like how it looks ( I find the hollows are much more appealing), feels, plays and the most overlooked problem being the weight.

The dot is a great guitar, although there are many alternatives. And it I were you and I was going for a solid body Id stick with a Telecaster Custom or even a Signature Strat if your budget will allow it. Both great blues guitars, yet sound fantastic with some overdrive.
