    @HarrySeven do you know of any old MIJ acoustic models with small necks & bodies? Are acoustics not your thing?
    Nope, sorry...can’t stand the things. :(

    An '80s Daion L-999 is small, narrow-necked, MIJ and cool but you'd be freakishly lucky within your budget.

    find a nice ibanez lawsuit, they can someone come up within your budget and they're usually quite good playing and sounding. At least the ones I've tried.

    @bbill335 ;

    I was in a similar situation to yours until  a few days ago. I've always wanted to get into acoustics, but coupd never get comfy olaying them (owing largely to me being a short arse with chipolata sizedsfingers). 

    I took delivery earlier this week of one of these from Andertons...

    ...and haven't been able to put it down since! It's small, comfy to hold, and the neck feels much more playable than anything else I tried in the £300 price bracket. It's 43mm nut, so not as narrow as you want, but the rolled fretboard edges make it sit nicely in the hand.

    Also came with a decent hard shell case, which was a real bonus at this price point.

    That's really cool. Feel like acoustics need hard cases but anything other than a dreadnought is sometimes a crapshoot as to whether it fits!

    Don't think I haven't looked at that thread longingly  :# Actually if I sell an amp (which I'm planning on doing), I might make you an offer...

    if it helps I"m looking for a short scale bass if you have one ( long shot I know ) also I'm occasionally in Chippenham if that brings it a little nearer, sadly I don't need another amp tho' ....
