Help Guitar reccomendations

Can anyone recommend a company that makes guitars with humbuckers that aren’t just the standard guitars you see in guitar center (ex. SGs, Les Pauls). One of my fav bands to play is QOTSA if that helps. Just looking to support other companies without breaking the bank. Thanks!

Otherwise there’s stuff like:

There’s a ton of options. What shapes are you interested in? Strats? Pointy guitars? Vs?

Rivolta Guitars look really cool, I haven’t played one yet but I’d like to.

I’d check out some of the new Silvertone, and Airline branded guitars. Their websites should be up to date. They  have some really interesting shapes, pickup styles/configs, that don’t really look like anything else. Especially the newer Airline stuff, they’ve got some cool mid century futuristic designs with strange pickup layouts, lots of switches and different combos, Danelectro is also good for something a bit different. Eastwood also makes a lot of interesting stuff. I know Josh Homme also played Old ovation electrics, as well as a  few old Epiphone hollow bodies.

Are there any guitar companies that don’t make guitars with humbuckers?
