The Blueridge BR40 is a nice little OOO size guitar. It has mahogany back and sides and spruce top. Solid woods scalloped braces and nice pearl inlays. It also has a smaller size neck diameter which is good for finger style picking. In the states it lists for under $500 so it can probably be found at some discount dealers for less. These guitars are just now starting to get some notice by us Martin and Gibson pickers and as they become more popular I'm sure the prices are going to go up up. I was totally impressed by the ones I played.
Try a lot of different brands I'm sure you'll find your favorite in time. Be patient. Dave

My late Mother played a 1960 Fender Strat, which I still use.

Charlotte (very unladylike on the guitar)

Hi Pete. You should use lemon oil on the fingerboard. Olive oil will build up a greasy deposit that will get very string-unfriendly.

Ovations are very bad for round fronted men because they wobble thier round backs around on the round fronts. They may be better for women lucky enough to conform to teh cultural preference of slim stomach and large not too wobbly wobbly bits, as they will sort of snuggle in without any sharp edges.

But if you are after the sound, buy for the sound.
