Hi guys.

A couple months ago i picked up a Yamaha apx600. Nice guitar but to be honest I find the fretboard too cramped up and it's just makinge not want to play.I started learning on a cheap guitar that was a dreadnought and it was more comfortable for me so I'm looking for something more like that.

The problem is all the shops here are closed so I need to order online and don't want to end up with something just as small.

Do the other Yamaha acoustics have the same small neck as the apx600? Or are they a little larger? Specifically looking at the dreadnough sized acoustics here. Measurements I see online only show nut width which all seem to be 43mm, but it would be nice to see neck width at say the 12th Fret to compare the taper.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a dreadnought (or anything larger than the apx600 really) in the 250-300 GBP range that has a larger neck than the apx600? Im not too bothered if it is electro acoustic or not

Thanks for any advice
