Default Best 000 or 00-sized cutaways?

Does anyone know of any good small-bodied acoustic-electric guitars WITH cutaways? I know they're a little hard to come buy without breaking the bank, but I want to hear anyone's suggestions. Please don't bother mentioning models that are NOT cutaways, as I need one that has a cutaway.

Thanks, all.

I have a couple small bodied guitars w/ cutaways, was just playing one of them, a Recording King RP1-626-C, 12 fret O size. You can find these used for $500-600 every once in awhile. Mine sounds great. It's a fun guitar, I did a level, crown and buff on the frets/fingerboard and that made a big difference. Has the sound and feel of a more expensive guitar (street price is around a $1000 new).

The other is a special run Martin OO-15c from LA Guitar Sales. It's a 14 fret OO cutaway, short scale, 1 3/4ths nut. Again, fun to play, great size, they sold new for around $1560.00. You might check w/ Ted to see if he's doing another run of those. I like mine a lot.

Recording King also makes a RP1-16C "solid torrefied Adirondack spruce top, 12-fret single 0 cutaway with a dreadnought scale" for $500 new. It's the same size as the RP1-626-C I own.

No longer produced but can be bought second hand, but the Gibson CJ-165 has a lot of fans, available in both maple and rosewood.... with a cut-way in later models.

I just got a Gibson LC1 Cascade, which fits your description. No longer in production, you can sometimes find them used.

Here are some Guild GADs that might work. The only one I've played is the GAD-F30PCE which was great plugged and unplugged. It's not being made anymore but you might find one used. The other two are still available online.
