Alternatives to the Taylor GS Mini E

I like this guitar a lot

So much so that I was about to pull the trigger on one at Andertons. Thing is I have what Mark D Phillips would call "sausage fingers" and the nut width on the GA Mini is narrower than standard.

I have been looking at the sigma 'hog bodied equivalent which is half the price of the Taylor - and gets amazing reviews (TM15 electric I think) but will the action be as low and will be as playable?

The Taylor was awesome but it was cramped for me with open chords

Any other ideas - playability is paramount for me

    Do you need a pick up and would a 12 fret nock joint be a problem? If not then the alverez ap66 might be worth a look.

    I could just offer you surgery for your "sausage fingers" :P

    I thought my missus once called Brandon Flowers "penis fingers". Turns out she said he has pianist's fingers.

    Imagine having penis fingers. Even an honest handshake would be sexual assault.

    Lol. Back on topic, I've made a 'meemo to self' to check out the two Sigmas on Music radar's 'Top 27 acoustics'. Them and a Faith Eclipse Mercury.

    Any update on this? I mean on looking for a small acoustic - not on penis fingers. I've been looking at the baby sized but interesting in the slightly more adult ones (acoustic guitars).

    Cheers.

    What about a Sigma 000-28VS. I am sure this has a wider than standard nut.
