Hi Tim,  just a suggestion, would it be better to list the guitars you are interested in ?

I know what you mean - might be annoying for a seller to get a swift 'not what I'm looking for' but tbh even such 'rules' as I've worked out through looking in to the various things I've been offered have been challenged by individual guitars.

I decided no Dreadnoughts, but a J-45 has caught my eye. 
I decided long scale, and a 000 caught my eye.
I decided something easy to play on the sofa, and a big Lowden caught my eye.

I don't want to discourage anything that might result in 2 happy parties :-)

But to immediately contradict that: I'm erring toward an OM type. 
Although happy to consider anything.

Got a Kinkade - kind of mini-jumbo style. Nicely played in and sounds gorgeous!

If you look hard you could find a good used collings for your top end budget which will blow away the other suggestions imo.

I did see a tasty used OM1 - but the more I researched recordings of various things the more I felt I'd prefer Rosewood over Mahogany - I came close to just going for it because of Collings' amazing rep but thought better of it.

Anyway - I HAVE NOW FOUND SOMETHING :-)

Hopefully will be making a NGD post on Tuesday.

If it doesn't work out for you I've been thinking about moving on my Larrivee OM10. ;-)

I'm toying with the idea of selling my as new Taylor 324ce. No hard sell here, just PM me if it's something that tickles your fancy. 

Edit - oops, I really should read a whole thread before replying!
