Hey everyone, sorry for such a boring thread but could do with some advice as I’m not very clued up on acoustic guitars.
I’m in an acoustic duo and I want a really nice electro acoustic with a cutaway for upper fret access. Right handed.
I like smaller bodied instruments as I have shoulder issues with big guitars. Things like Yamaha apx and Martin 000 work well for me.
My budget is around £500-£750.
I’ve been looking at the Taylor 114ce but am unsure. I just sold my Martin 000x1ae which was lovely, but had no cutaway.
Any recommendations please?

A few years ago when I had the same requirement I tried a lot of options and ended up with a 312CE, which was the cheapest cutaway electro they did at the time. It was perfect for the purpose, although I have to say it didn't have much 'character' as a guitar - but still more than the equivalent Yamahas and Takamines, which I found very artificial-sounding and felt cheap.
At least the current 114CE has the '2' version of the Expression System... the original is prone to failures and sounding crap, but I haven't seen any issues with the new one.
