The fusion series gets my attention but the specs don't specify solid wood back and sides.would it sound that much better than my c5? I know the neck is more narrow but that's all I see

The Kremona Fiesta F65CW-SB fits your criteria pretty well - all solid, electronics, and a cutaway. It's got standard 52mm nut width and 650mm scale. I don't see many new ones available, but there are used ones on Reverb and other sites in the $650-$850 range.

I like my Orchestra 12 solid cedar top with laminate sides and back. It's got a great sound. Cost me about $800 new at Guitar Center.

My #1 nylon string guitar is my Cordoba GK Pro Negra... all solid wood with a 1.96" width... Bought new they will run about $1,600.

Unless you are willing to buy used, its going to be tough to find a cutaway, all solid wood nylon string guitar with electronics for under $1,000.

I'd think it will be pretty tough to upgrade from the Cordoba 5ce with a new all-solid guitar with cutaway and good electronics for under $1000. +1 recommendation that you consider used.

I like the Tom Prisloe Pavan TP-20 for $1295. It is about $300 above your self-imposed limit of $1000 but I feel that it is worth paying that extra bit for it. Go without beer and junk food for a month and you will set aside enough for the difference.

At least, check it out.

If you play the majority of the time plugged in, you should consider the Yamaha NCX1200R. The electronics in those NTX and NCX series guitars are very good. The NCX has a full depth body and a twelfth fret neck join. I had an NTX700 and I loved it when played amplified, but the NTX has a thin body and a 14fret neck join, so suffered a bit in volume and dynamics when played acoustically. I did not care for the slightly narrowed nut width either. The 1200R has a full depth body, 12 fret body/neck join, and a full 2inch nut width, so it should sound just fine acoustically. As a plus they come with a sound hole cover to help with feedback issues when amplified ( well, at least the 700 series comes with one). Rosewood back and sides. About 1000 USD

Another option is the La Patrie Concert CW QI. Solid cedar over solid mahogany, electronics and a cutaway. Price for a new one should be $700 or less.
