Mahogany classical guitars

[sonicbeaver]

I have a kanilea islander gl6 guitalele which has a lovely wide classical style neck (50mm at the nut seems perfect for me) with low action. It plays wonderfully and has got me eager to try out a proper classical guitar made from the same woods - namely a mahogany neck and acacia body. Is there anything like that? Alternatively a mahogany neck and back and sides on the body. In terms of body size I'd like something comparable to an OM.. I have a Dreadnaught that's far too big for me. Looking to spend up to £1000 new or used.

I have a Cordoba C9 Mahogany back and sides with a Spruce top. Very pleased with the tone, playability and quality. The song in my signature block was recorded on that guitar.

I wouldn't think an all koa (acacia) or mahogany classical would sound very good....not enough tension on the strings to drive such a stiff/dense top.
