and I was using phosphor bronze light strings. So back then, it was very bright. It is now 5 years old, the top has aged in color and tone, and I am using silk and steel strings, and I am amazed at the tone now. Plenty of low end now. Excessive brightness is totally gone, and it is so easy to play, great neck.

Well... You could look into the Alvarez Artist Series guitars. I think you get more for your money with these over some of the other options you have been presented so far. They also are well received as being nice guitars across the internet and this forum. They all have cutaways and electronics with battery boxes that are accessed externally. they come equipped with bone nut/saddles and strap buttons installed. Rosewood fingerboards/bridges and mahogany necks, with 1 3/4" nut spacing, attached using a dovetail joint. They all also meet your original budget target of $500. Worth taking a look into in my opinion. Alvarez Artist AF60CE: Folk cutaway w/ electronics. Solid Spruce top/ Laminate Mahogany b&s. $430-ish street price. http://alvarezguitars.com/guitar/af60ce/ Alvarez Artist AF70CE: Folk cutaway w/ electronics. Solid Spruce top/ Laminate Rosewood b&s. $500-ish street price. http://alvarezguitars.com/guitar/af70ce/ Alvarez Artist AG60CE: Grand Auditorium cutaway w/ electronics. Solid Spruce top/ Laminate Mahogany b&s. $440-ish street price. http://alvarezguitars.com/guitar/ag60ce/ Alvarez Artist AG75CE: Grand Auditorium cutaway w/ electronics. Solid Cedar top/ Laminate Rosewood b&s. $490-ish street price. http://alvarezguitars.com/guitar/ag75ce/

And the winner is.....
Taylor 214ce. I played a 114ce, and the Martin GPCPA5K. I really liked the fell and sound of the 214ce the best. Plus, the guy gave me a great deal and it came with a hard case. The 114ce had a gig bag, and the Martin came with nothing.  Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
