Subject: RE: Small body acoustic guitars?
Oh yes, if you happen to see an older Guild around, that should fit into your price bracket and will do very nicely for blues and fingerstyle both. They're not exactly small-body instruments, but they're not outrageously huge either. Don't know what modern Guilds are like, but I've heard a couple of very nice older ones.
In general, consider that the more curvy "classical" or "jumbo" shape is usually better for fingerstyle than the dreadnought shape. This is a massive generalisation though, so use your own judgement, and your ears of course! ;-)
