Help me find my first crossover guitar.

[Quickstep192]

I thought I had found the crossover guitar I was looking for. The Takamine P3FCN seems to have the features I like. Sort of a small jumbo shape, classical bracing, 1-7/8 nut, 14 frets to the neck and a radiused fingerboard. And then I found out it's a matte finish. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'd just rather have Gloss.

Any suggestions? My budget is around $1,500

My suggestion: look for anything in the Córdoba Fusion line. They make just about any wood combination you can imagine, and get a lot of love here on the forum.

I have a Córdoba Fusion Orchestra Pro, and wouldn't part with it.
Hope that helps,
Gary

Check out the Taylors. They're revoiced and have a lot more projection and bottom end. I played at 214 at Gryphon Strings ($999) that sounded amazing. For your budget, I'm thinking you get up to 3xx or 4xx line.

Half your budget. Like mine a lot.

Do a Cordoba C5ce and you won`t look back!.
