Hello,
I've been playing guitar for around 4 years now and I want to get an electro-acoustic guitar now. (I don't know if it's the right word, but I want an acoustic guitar a pickup or mic inside it)
I have a pretty decent 2-3 year old Martin acoustic which is in mint condition, and I also have $200 which I have collected. I want to trade my acoustic+money and get an electro-acoustic guitar. Do any of you have any suggestions about brands or models I should look into?
The only thing I want from the electro-acoustic I want to get (apart from the good/decent sound) is a thin and rather small body. The Martin I have has a huge "ass" (as I call it), that when I play it my arm barely makes it to the strings because of the huge body of the guitar (and no, I'm not a small person). I've played some Yamaha electro-acoustics, both nylon and steel stringed ones (I prefer steel) and they felt quite comfortable. Also, I've heard great things about Takamine guitars, but I don't know if they are in my budget (I'd say I have a max budget of $400 including my old acoustic)
So, anyone?
Thanks!
