Hi

I'm looking to buy a steel accoustic, primarily for finger picking. Don't mind new or secondhand. £300 budget. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Leon

More than I really want to spend but Epiphone+DR-500MCE. seems highly recommended.

and the Epiphone EL-00 pro is a great guitar with a Fishman pickup for around £ 300 at all the major online shops in the UK

Thanks for the tip but I'm looking for one with a cutaway.

I have one of these, and I love it. It's roughly in that price range.

I purchased a Breedlove discovery concerto about a month ago. Perfect for fingerpicking and has a nice strumming sound to it as well. I paid just under 400 but there are les expensive models and some leftover stock from previous years you might be able to find cheaper. It has a cutaway and a fishman pickup to plug in. I use an Acoustic av15 practice amp. The two pair very well. I have a pic and full description in the gear review thread. [br][br]

No I'm in the US. What about Sweetwater or reverb online sites.
