Best Nylon Acoustic Electric under $1,000?

[chasyboy]

I'm sure there's been a thread on this topic. Can someone point me to it, please.

I've been looking at a few:

Godin
Cordoba Koa CE
Yamaha
Ibanez
Washburn

I would only use it infrequently and am more concerned about good amplified sound, so body size and acoustic sound isn't as important. I would also like a smaller neck profile (Godin gives a choice) but don't really want to spend too much money as it would only get used about 5% of the time.

Thanks in advance!

if you're really concerned only about the amplified sound, I'd go with the Godin

Another option if you're only concerned about the amplified sound,
check out Carvin and their a/e nylon string.

I tried a couple when they first came out years ago,
nice build quality for the price, not much in terms of straight acoustic tone
but nice amplified tone.

ps. I just noticed that you're in Costa Mesa, There is a Carvin Store on Main St. in Santa Ana between 17th Street and the
5 freeway, almost directly across from Bowers Museum.

Thanks!....I'm going with either the Cordoba Orchestra 12 or the lowest line Taylor. Peace!
