Need some advice choosing a new guitar

Been looking for a new guitar for months now but I can't seem to find the right thing for myself. Trying to find a small body guitar(anything parlour to 000) suited mostly to fingerstyle. Got a budget of about £350-400 as I can't take too much out uni funds. Anyone got any suggestions?

    Sigmas are fantastic - highly recommended.

    They do various 000s. I played a mahogany one (a 00015 IIRC) that was particularly good.

    +1 on the Sigma. I play mostly fingerstyle and have the mahogany 000. Sweet woody tone. Punches well above it's weight for the money.

    You might be able to bag a used Yamaha LS16 for £400. Otherwise go for a Sigma.

    I've got a soft spot for the "super folk" shaped Tanglewood guitars. They sound lovely and play like a dream.

    The Vintage V300 is extremely good for the money, too.

    You might find a secondhand Larrivee in that price range?

    Great choice - the one I played was massively better than it should have been for the price. Glad you’re happy with your purchase.
