Recommend me an acoustic jumbo cutaway

Name: Humbert Humbert !7c/iuGlcFg 2005-08-03 21:14

Hello.  I�ve been considering to buy another guitar, more precisely, a jumbo acoustic cutaway.  After visiting my local acoustic guitar dealers and playing what they offered, I�m left unsatisfied.  Thus I�m asking for help here, on the internet.  Of course, I�ll give a detailed background of myself to better help you guys recommend me a good acoustic jumbo cutaway.  I am strictly an acoustic guitar player.  I mainly play fingerstyle, with the very occasional strums.  I�m the owner of 4 guitars: A Washburn Dreadnought - D12SNM (which I love, plays like a $2000 Taylor), A Hondo Dreadnought � H-18E, A Simon & Patrick Cedar 12-string, and a cheap Vantage electric (which I never touch).  I want to add a jumbo cutaway to my collection.  I�m mainly looking for a guitar with a balanced tone, but since I play with a thumbpick, I�m looking for a guitar with a darker/more distant bass, since playing with a thumbpick already brings out the bass strings.  I don�t want the bass to dominate over the mid range and treble.  Also for the looks of the guitar; I want the guitar to look as natural as possible.  As little polish/coat, and absolutely no paint.  Reasons are twofold: I want a guitar with the potential to grow, and I prefer the look of a more natural guitar.   Lastly, perhaps the most difficult criteria of them all, I want all of this under $500 CND (or about $350-400 US).  I understand this may seem unreasonable, but I�m a starving university student.  But feel free to recommend me guitars of other price range.  Since there�s a budget involved, I want the tone of the guitar to take precedence over ease of play.  I�m willing to sacrifice ease of play for better sound.  Of course, I�ll do more research after, but your suggestions will help me immensely to narrow down the jumbo cutaway for me.

Don't change these.
