seagull s6+folk

Yep seagull folk exactly the same size as my Lucida lg 777 classical

The seagull would be a great choice. They actually say that their folk body is based off of a classical guitar. It also had a pretty wide nut width similar to a classical at 1.8".

I bought an 00 sized case for my classical. Fit perfectly. If you want a steel string that is classical sized it would be a double ought. As you know, classicals have 2 inch necks, most steel strings are 1-11/16 to 1-3/4.

How does the Yamaha FG-75 play? I've heard they make good blues guitars.

Yea they are... the FG-75 has a warm tone and is well balanced. Surprisingly loud for its size. Harmonics ring loud and clear. It's a great finger-style instrument. Those old FG's have chunky necks and the fretboard or narrow. What type of strings you put on this git make a BIG difference. Sadly, my Yam action is a bit high so I've change to Silk & Steel strings to make it more playable/comfortable. It's made her sound a bit thin but that's ok.
