Default 12 fret guitars

Any suggestions on a 12 fret, 1.75 nut, 7 biils or less? Preferably not with mahogany top. Thanks.

Eastman E10/20P is a great guitar. It may be 1 13/16" at the nut if I remember correctly.

Aren't there some Recording King models that fit those specs?

Those Fender Paramount Series Parlors (Which are really bigger like a 00) are a lot of guitar for the buck. Easily in your price range and mostly come with pickups and a nice hard case.

The top shelf one can be had here for a great price: https://reverb.com/item/13594066-fen...uitar-sunburst

The mahogany body one is even cheaper.

I've tried these out at various guitar stores about 5 times and am usually impressed with it's tone and playability. If I had to replace my Larrivee OOs, this would be it . . .

I have one. Nice guitar, but be aware that the scale is only about 24 inches.

I don't know what sevenbills means but my Waterloo WL-12 only has a 1 & 3/4" nut width.
A 00 or 000 really ought to have a 1 &13/16"or 1 & 7/8" nut width.
