At that price level, Martin 000-15S.

12-fret, round-shoulder, slothead, with wider (1 3/4" at nut) neck. 000- size is the largest of the small bodies - just a half an inch narrower at the lower bout than a dreadnought, but narrow waist, so it looks a lot smaller.

The 15s are Martin's cheapest line that're all solid woods. They're all mahogany, even the tops. Perhaps a little "darker" (that's the best word I can think of) sounding than a spruce top, but I love the sound. And the 000-15s is sort of a freak, in terms of the amount of power it produces from the size of the instrument. 12-fret slotheads tend to be louder than 14-fret solid heads the same size and quality. There are several theories why.

To see specifics, go here, click on "15 series" at the left, then on "000-15S" when the list comes up.

I got one, new from a dealer, here in the States, for US$650.00, more or less. That would be 420 or 430 or so British Pounds. I don't know how much the markup is crossing the ocean, but I guess it's a lot.

Just one opinion.

Peter.
