I love my Larrivee, maybe you can find one used, nice action and great for both picking and strumming, folk & blues. Mine isn't miked so I can't comment on that. They're built in a humid climate. Mine has a fairly wide fretboard, but not as wide as classical (nylon stringed) guitars, which you may find is the best suggestion. Remember, if you don't like it, or if it's too narrow for your fingertips you can sell it and try again. As you said there's a lack of good music stores, so there should be a fairly hungry market for good guitars that simply don't suit you.

Best of luck, don't give up the hunt.
