I've got about $1,000 to spend and I'd like to pick up a 6-string acoustic-electric. I have a Taylor 110e which I like quite a bit, but I'm reading that some other guitars—certain Martin models for example—offer a deeper sound than Taylors, and are well-suited for strumming (which is how I play for the most part). So, here are the parameters:
• 6-string acoustic-electric
• Price range up to $1,000 or so
• I'm left handed
• I have small hands; neck width at the nut of 1 11/16 inches is very comfortable for me
• Interested in a good strumming guitar
• Would like something with a different sound than my Taylor

Got any reccs?

I'd look on Craigslist

The "real" Martins are > $2000, so Eastman and Blueridge? Blueridge is known for having a shallow, narrow neck profile, but that may have changed in the last couple of years. You should consider asking around on sites like:

And I'd strongly recommend considering plain old acoustics, unless you really need the electronics NOW. You can always add them later, and you'll have much more to choose from if you don't require them pre-installed.
