Default Acoustic Guitars with a 24" scale and a cutaway?

Not much out there from what I can find. There is the Ibanez AE204 Jr and AE245Jr. 23 7/8" Cutaway with electronics, and that seems to be it, for under a grand. I have Taylor GS mini mahogany. It sits beside. My grab and noodle away guitar - it was like Bob Taylor scanned my hand and designed the neck for me.

Anything out there I missed with a cutaway and electronics besides the Ibanez??? Thanks. Oh, and a 14 fretter.

Composite Acoustics Cargo is a 14 fret cutaway with under 24" scale.
These can be found used for under 1K

Cargo is 22.75" scale with a 1.75" nut width. Some find that scale length a little cramped.
They sound pretty good (not just pretty good for a small guitar).

Another carbon suggestion, Emerald X7 , great little guitars ,
unconventional looks, but sounds great, plays great, ergonomics out the wazoo,
24” scale 1.3/4” nut, *base model about $1200 , impervious to humidity etc.

Their site: http://emeraldguitars.com/product-ca...v=79cba1185463

My own li’l’ piece of X7 heaven:



*The base models (Opus) sound/play exactly like the more expensive (Artisan) range, most differences are only cosmetic.

Ummmm. Left out nut size. I prefer it around 1 11/16. Yeah, my hand notices and complains a wee bit about the difference. Also the rounder the radius the better for me, but the standard 16" is okay.

Maton makes the EMS/EMS6 which are 22 3/4 scale and 1 47/64 at the nut. I don't see a cutaway version on their website, and I'm not surprised, there's not a lot of room for one.

Gibson J-45 EC. Sunburst, cutaway, and pretty good electronics. And it comes with that classic Gibson tone.

So, Concert/000 size, cutaway, 24" scale, 1.6875 nut, 16" radius at most, the more like a Taylor neck profile the better, electronics, under $1000. Should have been more precise in the first place. So, needle in a haystack???

Now, if Taylor made a GS Mini with a cutaway, I would be on it like vulture on carrion. I just sold a S&P Woodland Pro Folk because I hadn't touched it since I got my GS Mini Mahogany last June.

Forgot to repeat ,... 14 Fret.

Larrivée PV-09 (their parlor guitar) fits everything for you, except it's a 12-fretter.

Contact me directly if you want more info on these guitars...

Noticed an Ibanez AE245 Mahogany at a store where the owner is selling and retiring at end May. Might take a risk and wait to middle of May to see if I can get it at a discount. Retirement income, what can I say.

I'll bet Taylor would make you one with a cutaway. For a price.
