Smaller body acoustic with full scale length?

@ICBM and @DavidR - are the recommendations for the V300 specific to the MH mahogany model (warmer and less lively, I guess) or for the V300 model in general? I have found a used V300N for a decent price locally.

The spruce one is perfectly OK, but I don't find it as characterful or as much 'out of its price range' as the mahogany one - it's nice enough, but not special in the same way. That said, I've only played one of each.

Interesting - thanks. We'll go try the spruce one and then see. 

Saw that Richtone has a used VEC350 (which I think is the same guitar but with piezo + preamp + cutaway) at £129. That might be Plan B if we like the V300N, but don't like the condition.

(Seems her budget does not extend to a GS Mini, unfortunately, and from the thoughts above the Baby and Big Baby are not as well liked.)

I only have experience of the V300MH @goldtop ;

Thanks all - we bought the local V300N tonight. It's way better than we expected for the £80 paid.
