epi-phone have always made high quality semi/hollow body guitars. their prices have been really nice for awhile, and maybe they have been putting out new inexpensive models over last decade, thanks to the recession. i've got a casino from the 60s that is sweet as honey.

Totally off topic, but one of my bucket list guitars is an Epi Coronet ala Steve Marriott.

Just realized Dax plays an ES.
Only want one more now.
My mate had a Sheraton, reissue from the early part of last decade.
It was sweet...and it was sludgy as fuck.
Nice spooky lead tones as well.

I own the same Verythin that Gas King pictured.
The lower bout may be a bit wider than some other hollow bodies (may be... I've not measured), but its over all feeling when playing is that of a smaller guitar.
That may have something to do with the lightweight-edness of it, which also made me question its build a little when I first got it. Almost felt like I was going to have to baby the thing while playing.
Thats proved not to be the case and I'm very happy with the very thin.
