A friend of mine* wanted advice on what acoustic guitar to get. He's been put off by playing really uncomfortable acoustics with high action, so is looking for a model that's perhaps got a narrower and/shorter neck that will feel nicer. Price range around £300.
Anybody got any advice?
* Sounds like I'm actually asking for myself but am too ashamed to admit it. Really though, it's genuinely for a friend.

Playability ans sound are amazing for the price. Love the ebony board too.
Also, a good set-up - especially the nut height, which is the most commonly overlooked part - can make more difference to the action and ease of playing than the neck profile, assuming it isn't one that just doesn't fit your hand.
The reason to go second hand is that it gets you roughly a £500 guitar for £300, and there's quite a big step up in terms of quality between those price points.

I have heard that the Sigma necks are super slim and they are bang on budget for the standard series.

My Sigma doesn't have a slim neck, I have the 000M 1ST and the Neck on that is quite fat. Substantially fatter than my Les Paul which is a 60s Slim Taper
You can pick up a new Applause for under budget, or probably gets very good used Ovation around £300
