Seeing as someone posted up a good deal on those archtops the other day, I thought I'd share this one with you:

Mayson all-solid wood grand auditorium acoustic

I spent some time in my local southeast London guitar shop the other day and tried a Mayson guitar - the cheaper, laminated wood version of the solid spruce and mahogany linked to above. The laminate version sounded very good, had a comfortable neck and good spacing for fingerstyle (45mm nut width). This Spanish company on Amazon appear to be offering the all-solid spruce and mahogany version for about the same price.

It's quite hard to find an all-solid wood acoustic for less than £500; this one works out at £390 once postage is included.

I'm tempted...
