Do you think my Walden might tick your boxes? I was just in the shed making up a big box for my guitar cases but the large Walden case wouldn't fit. For a moment there I thought, oh fuck it. I'll just sell it.

All solid wood construction. Indian Rosewood B&S, spruce top. Grand Auditorium shape & size. 1&3/4 string spacing at the nut, 25&1/2" scale. Rosewood fretboard. Gloss finish (but its is water-based I think). Walden use good quality woods for their top models (such as this) and their construction is usually excellent too.

Interestingly the 1&3/4 thing seems to be for fingerstyle but John Mayer's OM has 1&11/16 as he wants it to be more like a strat neck... I definitely want to learn fingerstyle tho' so the wider seems better.
