My first time posting here, but I've been more of an electric player for more than 35 years. I'm considering an acoustic in the sub - $1k range and the 000c-1e has caught my eye. I previously owned a Guild GAD-40, but didn't care for the size.

Reading that the 000c-1e has solid mahogany back, but laminated sides, I wonder how much of a difference that will make in the overall sound (as compared to all mahogany)?

I find myself leaning moreso to the feel and sound of Martins lately, but I'd love any other recommendations within this price range, with 000 or 0M body style, including other Martins, Guilds or Taylors.

Thanks for your time and wisdom!
