    Thanks for all the input everyone, much appreciated! Well looks like the mozes Rosenberg model already sold so I think I'm gonna go with with the electric chorus model, but I see the bridge and tail piece are more like a archtop , kinda curious if this will still be loud like a gypsy guitar or if it's gonna be much quieter like my dangelico archtop

    Ask for the standard bridge and tailpiece, shouldn't be a big deal to swap. He's got pics of the Chorus model with standard bridge and tailpiece.

    I got to play a similar looking Shopis with the CC pickup mounted into the top. It was a cool guitar, and from what I understand it sounds great when amplified, but it couldn’t keep up in an acoustic jam. That may be fine if that’s not a priority for you, just something to keep in mind.

    The Eimers Nympheas you mentioned is fantastic in every way.

    In that price range, I don't think you're going to find a better guitar. Plus, who doesn't want to buy a guitar from @geese_com?

    If you're looking for a step up from an Altamira, the Stringphonic 503 basics are a great choice. They have 4 braces and are lightweight which contribute to sound.

    Then go to Django in June and play a lot of guitars. It's tough to know what you're ultimately looking for until you hear it and play it in context.
