Hi - a student wants to buy an acoustic guitar, body size not important, but it must have a nut width of 45mm or wider. Ideally solid woods. He's looking at spending under £500.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Jonny

I was going to suggest a Guild M120 (all solid mahogany, 45mm nut) , that little Guild Vinny posted looks great value.

Seagull S6 Cedar Original (not slim) has 1.8" at the nut. About £525 new, so a bit over budget. They also have a shorter scale, or at least mine has.

Definitely second this ,I have owned (my only guitar) a TW45 vintage sunburst for 15 years and it is still the nicest sounding guitar I have played.

Thanks for the suggestions - any other possibilities?
He's thinking 12 frets to the body too.

Recording King used to do some great 12 fret, all solid, 45mm+ nut width guitars (I bought several of them and still own them) but these days not so many. These two would both fit the bill but are 14 frets: www.recordingking.com/ro318www.recordingking.com/ros11fe3tbr
