Default Used dreadnought around 650 dollard

Hello,

I'm searching a used dreadnought around 650 dollars.
A balanced sound on the warm side

I love folk artist like Nick Drake, Vashti Bunyan, Linda Perhacs

Thanks for your help

Regards

...the Martin 1 series dreadnoughts from the 90's can be found at that price...they did the mahogany D-1 and the rosewood D-1R....solid top ...all the 1 series guitars i played back then were instruments that played and sounded pretty darn good...heres a link to a rosewood example currently listed on reverb...no affiliation....

Taylor DN3s will pop up on Reverb (and at least once recently in the classifieds here) in that range.

I found a used K.Yairi dreadnaught a few years ago for $600, when helping my nephew shop for a guitar. I had owned one in the early ‘80’s.

That was about 8yrs. ago and that guitar amazes me each time I play it. It rivals guitars costing 2K, IMO. I think these K. Yairi guitars are among the finest guitars for the money that you can find.

You can purchase a new Eastman E6 D all real wood mahogany and spruce for right in your wheelhouse from an AGF vendor. The used Taylor would be a good choice as well.

Yamaha L-16 is a good choice.

Default Used dread

I don't know pricing in Europe but you can find old Westerly Guilds here in that range, maybe a D25?

In Europe I would look for a Sigma D-18 or Furch D-42. Different price-points but below your budget if you find the Furch used.
