I would highly recommend Charles Hoffman guitars if you're an Olson fan. I owned one for a few years and took it with me on the road all the time. It was like a rock. Charlie was a teacher of sorts to Jim Olson and their guitars do share some similarities. Although, Charlies guitars do have a voice of their own. You can pick one up well with your price range.

Currently, my Batson is my main gig guitar now and it's also like a rock.
www.batsonguitars.com Unfortunately, they have such a long line of customers they have stopped taking new orders for a while. You might find one at a dealer of theirs though.A couple kind dealers who support this forum have one or two in stock.
Hope this helps and good luck in your search...
Kindly,
Danny
P.S. Based on your location, have you thought about Laurie Williams guitars? He has a new model in your price range. Amazing instruments...
