I have a Fylde Octavius, which cost less than £500 (GB). Teardrop shape with round soundhole.

I didn't want an F-style - I'm left handed and play it upside-down.

Build quality is as near perfect as I can tell. Tone is wonderful and it is loud. Cedar and monogamy.

The variation in tone caused by moving your picking position or attack makes it much more versatile (I use it for English, Celtic and American folk tunes, some old-time and bluegrass, song accompaniment and rock-type soloing in an acoustic band) - some of the F-styles are one trick ponies, IMHO.

Roger Bucknall at Fylde is a great bloke and will happily talk through your requirements, then ship anywhere.

I stil have GAS, but it's cured my MAS for life. Hope this helps.
