Spec me an Electro-acoustic. £500 budget!

[SidewinderINC]

Hi all,

ive phased out of computer buying stuff, and back into guitar buying stuff (lasts longer lol) and have decided over this summer i want to buy an electric acoustic, and i have about £500 to spend on it, less if possible!

ive got a few in the shortlist that i want to try out, namely the Yamaha APX and CPX range; the APX5A, APX7A and APX9C (which looks to be the mutts nutts! but also the most expensive at the very top of my budget)

not sure about the CPX range, does anybody know the differences between the APX and CPX?

other than that i have no idea, i'd like it to be a cutaway as i dont like the feel and shape of full bodied acoustics.

can any of the muso's of the forum help me in my quest?

Matt

thanks guys, i'd rather have a smaller bodied guitar, thats why i was edging for the APX if i was going to get a yamaha - at the moment its definately veering towards the APX9C because it has the piezo pickup and a condenser microphone in it.

i havent had a chance to look at those other makes, though i know they do awesome guitars, but i'm not particularly fond of the shape/size of them. will do more research into takamine as i know they do some good ones!

just had a look around the takamine website, and i didnt see any that i liked the look of in my price range same goes for the seagull guitars.
