Hmmmmm ...
And I've just scanned gumtree for local sales of acoustics and found a couple that look interesting ...
(Still don't fancy putting power tools anywhere near my old Yam acoustic though).
Either a soundhole pickup or a K&K or Baggs iBeam internal pickup doesn’t even need a hole drilled under the saddle.

Played a few - Sigma, Eastman, a s/h Crafter, skipped past the Fenders & Epis, Faith, all in the £300-£500 range of my budget, but nothing really clicked.
And then I went into the Taylor room.
Academy12 - bang on budget, although if I wanted it electro'd, it adds another £100 (they didn't have one in stock).
GS Mini - which was a little outside budget, but had a beautiful walnut back and - if you closed your eyes - you'd swear the sound it made was coming from a full-sized body. Only reason I'm not sat here playing that right now is that I was 100% sure on the size of it.
Head and shoulders above anything else I played there today. I'm sure if I stretched the budget further still I'd find something I liked more still ... but there has to be a limit. Ish.
I'm thinking it over. They might get me an electo'd Academy12 in too, to back-to-back them all ...
No great surprise or news - but top marks to all the guys at Peach. Scott & Martin and the younger guy whose name I didn't get, were perfect. No pressured sales pitch, there when you needed them and somewhere else when you didn't. Don't care if someone else has it £50 cheaper, my money is going to them.
You've got great staff @peachguitarsdotcom .
Assuming I can fit it and the tele in the car with all of the other crap we have to take to keep SWMBO happy, I'll probably have it up in Norfolk next week for practicing for Quad. You're welcome to swing by if you want to, but I'm assuming you're really looking at expanding the budget to get something nice, rather than contracting it to get something adequate
I admit to having had a lapse in budgetary control - though not on an R8 scale!
NGD pics will follow when I have some time.
Thanks for the info, and the offer to give it a spin, but on current trends, it’ll be c2055 before I buy my next acoustic ...
Enjoy the hols
