Ultimate Guitar w/ Constraints
Alright, you get to pick two instruments here, but they both have to meet the following criteria:
Rosewood back & sides Spruce top Ebony fretboard Grand Auditorium, OM, or 000 body size (or thereabouts, must be smaller than a dread but larger than a Taylor x12) 1.75" at the nut 14 frets to the body Mostly for fingerstyle, but will show up at a bluegrass jam now and then Must have some kind of pickup, if it is a UST, it must be dual source. Can not be a custom order instrument (pickup could be done after the fact). Now, pick two guitars that meet all these criteria. One under $2000 street price and one over that mark. (I don't think that violates the no price discussion policy, but if it does, mods feel free to edit to read differently). Thanks.

These are all Larrivee's street price should be very good on them. The ones I have played were great.

Sounds like an 814ce may fit the bill.

OK, I'll bite. For the under $2K, I'd find a mint, used Bourgeois OM, and have my own p/u put in it. They're available on ebay, and I've yet to play a bad one.
For the over $2K, I'd custom order an Omega OM from Kevin Gallagher. It would likely be the last guitar you'd ever NEED...maybe not the last you'd buy, but the last one you'd ever have to buy. My .02.

Santa Cruz OM/PW. I'm seriously considering one myself right now! Meets all your criteria, except you'll go over just a tad on the price mark -- and you'll have to put your own PU in.

Under 2,000 a Northwood OM-70, over 2,000 a Northwood OM-80.
