Looking for recommendations for a Concert sized guitar up to about £400,which is currently around 550 US or 700 Australian or 475 Euro. I find a Parlour a bit too small and a Dreadnought and OM just a touch too big so Concert seems the obvious choice. Must have at least a 43mm nut width and probably a C shaped neck,certainly not flat. I'm sure somebody will extol the virtues of Yamaha,and quite rightly,but I've found their necks a bit difficult to get on with on the ones I have tried both Electric and Acoustic.
Anyway,fire away ladies and gents and I don't discount used guitars although I am always worried about private sellers like most other guitar buyers.

sometimes the difference ISNT just body size but the fret join of the neck/body and/or body depth.
ALSO smaller guitar doesnt necessarily equate to less ££, sometimes quite the opposite - "good value" 000 and smaller are harder to find
Im slightly surprised you find an OM too big (which ones have you played - if only for reference) as OM's are far more "easy" to find than 000 and certainly 00
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
All that said, I think we need to be clearer on what it is that you are looking for. "Concert", "OM", "000" ... these terms (and a dozen others) get used by different people to mean different things. As Bertie says, there is also the body depth factor, plus the location of the bridge (which is a function of the placement of the neck-body join). Oh, and scale length, of course.
Tell us more about your problems with the lower bout of the Sigma. Do you think it is the depth? The width? Or the location of the bridge?
they are really easy/comfortable players and you might find it "Ok"
