Specific models in mind ?

A couple of questions should help you narrow it down. Do you want a movable adjustable bridge? Do you want a bigsby?

Gretsch Electromatix are quite good, with I think essentially differences in pickup styles to look out for on the cheaper models. Many people change the pickups for tv jones ones.
For other classic models, Epiphone has the Casino, and its versions of the Gibson 335 and 339.
Many other brands do old school jazz style hollowbodys with varying degrees of price and qualities, notably Ibanez if you like their guitars.

I just bought a used gretsch 5420 with tv jones pickups for 600 euros. While searching I saw a few other good options under the Electromatix brand in the same price range. If you want a new one, they retail around 900 euros here in France.
Around these prices they really feel quite good, but there's definitely cheaper Ibanez and many other generalist brands from 200 to 400 euros - mostly without bigsby, you would have to add one after.
If you want a bigsby, gretch are probably the easyest to find cheap.

regarding this brand price is low are you aware of the qc on them being good ?

[calm jewel]

I mean their qc is consistently decent from what I’ve heard

[calm jewel]

You can find them on Amazon

And therefore it would make a return easier if it was qc’d poorly
