At the risk of sounding like a broken record (n.b. to those under 40, a record is a spinning vinyl platter with the music etched into grooves that is reproduced by a stylus transmitting the music to an amplifier/speaker combination. If one were to scratch a record... well, there goes the music!) since I've mentioned this in a couple of other threads, but "keeping it under $2K" leads me to suggest at least some cursory research into the new, reborn Harmony.
Their electrics are made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, but as a foot in the water of bringing back their classic hollowbody and semi-hollowbody sounds, they have released the terrifically affordable H-62 Reissue. It's made in Korea, so political considerations don't enter into the mix, and many offshore makers are now made as well (or better) than domestics. I'm sorry, but that's just a true statement. I'd love to get my hands on one of these. Looks gorgeous, classic, yet is modern in material and technology. $849 MAP. (The H-76 Reissue is also worth a second look, and has a MAP of only $699). You'd have money left over to look into an amp that would go well with either. Oh, Harmony makes amps, too. By the way, I have no interest in or affiliation with Harmony.

I happen to have a Made In Korea Gretsch.
I have a friend that owns two MIJ ones. He was really surprised when he picked mine up and played it for a while he did note the pups are a little different but his comment was "but not by a lot"

I’m really liking what I’m seeing from D’Angelico, though I’ve not seen one in person or been able to play any. I have played one of their acoustic 12-strings in GC once and it felt toy-like. A complete piece of junk. Hopefully their hollow bodies are better made. |

I have owned and played ES-175s and L-4 CES guitars extensively. My amps are usually driven a bit much more than the hollow bodies like. About 25 years ago I went from the hollow body 175s and L-4 CES to the semi hollow 335s and Howard Roberts Fusion that have center blocks. I still love my Les Pauls, Strats, and SGs, but feel that a 335/semi hollow body style is perhaps the most versatile electric platform out there. Players from rock and blues to jazz and Motown all used them.
