Need help to choose electroacoustic guitar

[Milorae]

Please, help me to find a perfect guitar for me! I checked tons of guitar sites and still trying to find something really good. Maybe you can give me advise?

 

My specifications are:

 

dreadnought with venetian cutaway

top material solid spruce (high class)

back material solid mahogany

side material not really matters

neck material mahogany

fingerboard solid rosewood (indian maybe)

nitrocellulose lacquer (maybe satin, its not really matters)

good electronics on board, i thought about something like fishman aura ellipse onboard preamp (optionaly, i can install it myself), or really good pickup with preamp and high quality electronics

 

price range is about 1000-1200 $

 

PS: I found Walden D2040EC - perfect for me! But this model was discontinued...

if you're near a guitartrader or guitarcenter (i think?)
try playing this guitar

satin finish but everything else is what you're looking for
it sounded pretty nice.
or try epiphone masterbilts. those are really good as well.

Thank you) I live in Russia, but I have +300 $ for shippment and a friend in US
Maybe there is something else?

Your exact requirements can be met with a 300 series Taylor.
Guitar Rodeo here in the Twin Cities will give you a good price and service.
Taylor has a new line I think, replacing the 300 series and you should find a good fit...

Larrivee D-03E i think are a lot better guitars
for that price range (only like 750 at most in stores)
since you live in russia i don't think you can play them before
yo ubuy them though unfortunately.

I can ask my friend to do that for me)
We have exact taste for music and sound) So he can give me some comments

If you found a guitar you liked , but with no electrics a K+K mini is just under a hundred bucks - not to difficult to put in , compared to some acoustic electrics their as good or better ( thou most of the top end are a bit more sophisticated ) Larrivee are great guitars for the money, im also guessing that if you ever found something you liked more in the future youd have no problem selling them in Russia -- Ive heard American guitars sell for alot more their than here -Some of the lower end Larrivees are a steal for their price , and some of the mid to upper end are fantastic guitars ( I dont sell larrivees -I do own a OMv60 that i love ) The right seller will also set it up for you the way you want it before they ship it - just an idea ---
