Help me get a s/h cutaway mid sized acoustic budget 300 ish (might stretch)

nickp

I know fark hall about acoustics but, like a twat, have allowed mine to fall and break (a crafter) which I need to replace as I'm trying to learn gypsy but I don't want to spend £700 on a full-on manouche guitar quite yet!

Any ideas/pointers/links to possible decent choices for good guitar.  Don't need electro as I have a pickup in the old guitar I can remove - would like 14 frets and a cutaway and a mid sized body - about 16" across  - I think the Faith acoustics are in that ball park size wise - I have seen it described as a grand auditorium size - good for fingerpicking as well as strumming etc

anyway if you can point me in the right direction, ebay links that sort of thing it would really help as I feel I shoud press the button this weekend so I have something to strum on an practice all those minor and major 6 chords and Le Pompe!

Can’t go wrong with a Takamine really and there are a fair few bargains on eBay but just had a quick search for “gypsy guitar” and this popped up https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acoustic-Gypsy-guitar-Antonio-Pinto-Carvalho-JM100/114457698267?hash=item1aa635dfdb:g:kjoAAOSwk69fgwWJ

thanks!  I've just bought (I think) a taylor - it's a normal acoustic with a cutaway (rather than a gyspsy specific as it's too early for me to go completely Django) from Ebay so hopefully Thursday will be a NGD!!

having said that, if the economy was sound and everything looked positive that would be worth buying just for the gypsyness!!    I'd look the part even if I sound crap
