Guys...since playing MM and getting used to and liking the 1 5/8 nut what acoustics out there have a narrower nut and/or board...right now I'm playing a Breedlove and it feels wide to me after playing a silo..any suggestions?

Very interested to see what you guys think. If you happen to try Taylors and like them, I have a GS Mini I am not bonding with, I even had the ES-GO pickup installed.

I want to try something different though...
 
Hey guys, just tried a new guitar called a Bedell at GC here in NY, was very comfortable in the neck, almost like an electric, they have more models coming in so Im gonna keep an eye out, edgar, does the mini have a standard scale length?
 
Not a big fan of Bedell did nothing for me, just like Taylor or PRS, have a killer Takemine on the way though, but really doesn't address your nut size issue. Just suggesting other acoustics
 
Sweat..I actually played a cheap bedell so not sure,, had a tak ef341c and sold it now I can't afford a decent tak..ozzy what kind of Breedlove do you have? I'm digging the tone and playability of mine but the damn neck so soo big lol, sounds great though so for now I'm keeping...
 
Try an Ovation guitar. They play much more like an electric than most acoustic necks. I don't know the specs on the nut width, but they seem more narrow than most acoustics to me.
 
I just have to put myself into the mindset to enjoy the sweet sound of my Takamine all Koa acoustic and realize that it will be a bit harder to play than my MM guitars. It's a good workout for the fingers, etc.
