More affordable alternatives to the Gibson L-5 and ES-175?

Mind you, the unfairness of it all is mitigated by the fact that, for her, playing in C is actually easier. Us poor guitarists have to play in awkward keys like Bb to keep up with the tenor sax...

Vintage blonde GCS-16-2 looks so nice. I'll hopefully be able to find somewhere I can try most of these this weekend (I'm in a large city).
