00 - solid woods - 12 Fret. Under $1,000? Impossible

[kmckenna45]

I’m in the hunt for a new or used 00 12 fret. Solid spruce top, solid mahogany (or other solid wood) back and sides. For under $1,000. Is this possible? No Mahogany on the top wood. I used to have all all -hog 00-15 and didn’t like the sound.

I just love the sound of a 00 and it’s size. I’ve found a 12 fret easier to play as I’ve gotten older.

I know I can’t hit my budget with the big names - so can anyone recommend a smaller (and cheaper) guitar logo that is made from real wood (not layer, or combination, or anything that means laminated.

Thanks

You should be able to find a used Larrivee like that.

Solid spruce & mahogany. It's $1350 street, so a bit over your budget, but if you're patient it shouldn't be hard to find one for $1k or less used. Just be aware of the 1 13/16" nut.

I liked some of the Breedlove Concertinas that I have tried in that price range

While I do not have a clue about their current catalog, Recording King has offered 00 size 12 fretters.

Yup, I saw one new at schoenberg a few months ago, was about 1400 if I recall, used it should be pretty close to 1k

I would suggest a second hand Eastman 00, either the E10 or E20.

Alvarez Masterworks Parlor.

In spite of the "parlor" name, it's a full 00 in size.
