Topic: Thinner necked classical

Hi everyone 

Hope you can help, I have been playing guitar for some years now I own an Ovation legend, and a Yamaha G231 ii classical, I have now decided to concentrate more on classical playing but I find the neck on the the yamaha like most classical guitars quite wide, I would like to upgrade to something with a slimmer neck.
I tried an ibanez GA5TCE which has the slim neck (and body) but unplugged does not offer the fullness, I would like to eventually buy something special but not until I have reached a high standard.

Any advice would be truly appreciated, I dont mind spending up to £500.

Check out Wechter guitars. I have the pathmaker acoustic model (not a classical) but I know they are really big in classical guitars. The neck on mine is smaller and faster than on my strat. Google Wechter or look Wechter up on youtube. THey plek tune their guitars which is really nice.

Re: Thinner necked classical

Thanks for the advice frankfef,

Will certainly look at those they are well built , I suppose the best option is to try as many as possible at a guitar show.

Thanks again
