Yamaha L16 series. Have it setup, change the nut and saddle to bone, and you will have a geetar that sounds and punches way above its weight.
It sounds way better to my ears than some other 2k plus ones out there. |

I'd say at around 1000 is a used Martin D16

Was fortunate enough to purchase the Musicians Friend SDOTD - Yamaha LS16 ARE. Learned on an old laminate Yamaha and always yearned for the L series.

Furthermore, it seems to me a laminate, provided it's good quality, is a pretty good way to go for the sides of a top shelf or moderately-priced acoustic. Other things equal tonality would not suffer, while strength and stability would increase. Of course, that's no new idea. Last edited by Elroy Bean; 01-16-2018 at 08:51 AM. |

Faith guitars take some beating for the money , good range too ...Easier to buy in the UK though I must admit ....

I would definitely say take a look at Breedlove if you are okay with their 1 11/16s nut size. GC and MF have great sales on the Breedlove line right now, worth checking out. I have a Breedlove and it has a cedar top and sounds amazing. I just can't deal with the nut size anymore. I have heard great things from Yamaha but no real experience besides I used to want to buy one. I may give the line another look based on these posts.
I am going to be testing a Blueridge Parlor BR-371 up next to an Alvarez MPA70. I'll give you my verdict there. I can't find what most of these people are claiming are $1000 guitars; namely Larivee and Eastmans. They are generally above that price point and I have been frantically searching; albeit for Parlors and OMs with slotted headstocks. Nevertheless I have seen a multitude of brands and guitars and their prices. |

That's a nice guitar. If you like that nut width, Simon and Patrick also made by Godin and similar to the Seagull has a 1.72 nut width.

Can't believe no-one has mentioned Furch - the 20 series are all solid instruments for around £750-800. Similarly I've heard nothing bad about Faith guitars.

Blueridge is my pick in that price range.
