Just doing some gigs and flogging some gear to buy a decent acoustic as I'm slowly putting together an acoustic set.
It will be fingerstyle (cos my singing is bad) - a mix of folk, jazz, classical etc. I tried a Faith trembisi/mahogony with a cutaway (selling for about £850) which was lovely (it was the first good guitar i tried!!) and almost liquid sounding.
As it's more than I'll have to spend, do we have any suggestion for an electro-acoustic for about £500 s/h that I can start gassing over. Not dreadnaught size but something that will project but isn't so mahoosive that it's difficult to play fingerstyle
ta v much

Solid top, back and sides may have something to do with that. At lower price points, some of the less critical parts will probably be laminates. Not fatal but, once you have heard something better, it is hard to go back.

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Which is just over £500
If you can do without the cutaway you'll have more choice in the market and probably a better balanced, better sounding guitar.
Other than that it's a good gigging guitar.
I found the Faith easier to get higher up the neck.
