Default Recommendatiosn for a Cutaway w/ Preamp

I've been combing the forum and researching this for a while and would be interested to get recommendations for a nylon string with the following criteria:

-Cutaway w/ a preamp w/ mic blend
-Up to $2K
-Ideally spruce top, but cedar OK
-50 mm nut ideal, 52 with a shallow depth neck OK
-No flamenco golpeador
-Full size/scale

I had a Cordoba GK Studio Negra in the past which I liked, but the trebles sounded too weak unplugged. I was certain that GK Pro Negra would be the one for me, but I was disappointed after trying one out - sounded a little better than the studio, but fret edges were rough - did not seem like it was worth the $1,900 price tag. I've heard good things about Cervantes and Furch guitars, but they seem hard to find to try out.

I've played Cervantes classicals (no cutaway and no pickups) and they were excellent for the money about 8 years ago.

His reputation has broadened ever since so I don't know if his current prices now better reflect the guitars' true value.

You could try some of the upper-end Yamahas if your focus is on the amped tone rather than the acoustic tone.

Default Cutaway Nylon

the gk studio is probably the only cordoba I've ever played that I felt was possibly worth the price, most likely because it has a solid amplification set. So I wouldnt have recommended upgrading to another cordoba.

In the price range you are looking for, you can never go wrong with a Hermanos Camps guitar. Their studio Flamenco guitars have extremely balanced bass and trebles, great looks and nice combination of sustain and low action- all for a decent price and they offer all of them as cutaway guitars.

(note:a flamenco guitar with no golpedor? idk why you want that so im gonna address it)

there is their negra, which they generally charge alittle more for than the blanca
