Just throwing this in there. An Epiphone Dot Flame Top. Epiphone Dot Deluxe Flametop Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst and more Semi-Hollow and Hollow Body Electric Guitars at GuitarCenter.com. I play one on occasion and its just plain beautiful. Wasn't a huge fan of the neck pickup, but its still a great guitar, and its a little cheaper than the one you picked out. It handles distortion really well, which is a plus. This was my main guitar for quite awhile til I got a Gretsch CVT. Even still, I break this one out.

Btw, Gretsch makes some nice hollowbody guitars. Its a little out of your range, perhaps, but a G5122 is a good one too. My friend owns one and it sounds insane. It can't handle distortion as well, but has more of an airy sound. The clean sounds we can get out of it are remarkable.
