I had an Ovation (1867?) thin body nylon that was my favorite gigging guitar until I ran it over with my Jeep (by mistake). I have a Godin that I use for loud stages/trios/bands---no feedback worries and really cuts thru the mix.

My newest addition thin slope dred. 2.5" at neck 3.5" at end pin. Made with awesome wood 1959 Sitka top and Madagascar BS. Need to make a recording and post, you miss a little bass but you would be surprise by the sound. And so comfortable to play.

Never been a fan of thin-line acoustics. If you want to go down this path I think a better choice would be something like a Taylor T5. If the Taylor T5 is out of your price range you can hunt one down a used Gibson Chet Atkins or Epiphone SST model.




Gibson Chet Atkins SST


Epiphone's version of the SST (great guitar at a good price)

I answered "my favorite", but only because a better poll choice wasn't available. My main gigging/worship leading guitar for the last 12 years has been a Renaissance RS6, but when I'm not onstage, there are so many other guitars to choose from...
