Acoustic Guitar Recommendations

I currently have a big ol' dreadnought that cuts off circulation in my arm, so I'm looking for something smaller and thinner and as an acoustic-electric. I also prefer it to be wider at the nut to help my sausage like fingers fret the mofo. TIA

Just picked up a Taylor 114CE and it plays great. Not sure if they have some with larger necks.

I can recommend Ovation enthusiastically, although you might need a classical for the wider nut.
They're all A/E, lighter at every size category and I like the sound. Some folks think the sound is thin unamplified, but not to my ears. Sure, my 40+ year old Guild sounds like a grand piano, but the Ovations do not sound bad.
(Go with the super shallow or mid-depth bowl, IMHO).

Not that a 12 fret would help.
Just curious if a size change might?

I played one of the smaller body Mexican Martins the other day.
It sounded great, but it had a wide fretboard and that was the thing I didn't care for.
It was right around $1,000.
Seagull makes some wide fretboard guitars too.

I really like this Epiphone j200 parlor guitar that I bought at Christmas.
It's a very comfortable guitar to play, but it has a 1 5/8 nut.

I know,they are made in Chyna but an Eastman 00 is gonna be hard to beat for the money. A satin finish E100SS retails for $750 has solid Sitka Spruce top and Sapele back and sides. Nut width is 1.68 inches so almost 1 3/4. Just need to get a K&K pure pick up installed probably around $150.

Eastman makes great guitars.

Yeah I have played a couple in shops just checking them out and the fit and finish is surprisingly good.
