I've decided to sell my Korean CC255 & I would like to replace it with an American made electric-acoustic Ovation 12 string. Here's what I'm looking for:

1: Nut width no greater than 1-3/4", the narrower the better since I have rather small hands. My CC255 has a nut width of 1-7/8" & it's just too wide for my hands & my playing style.
2: A low action or at least an action that can be adjusted to get it low, (unlike the one I have).
3: I would like another leaf top cutaway model.

What model(s) am I looking for & what should I expect to have to spend?

Thanks for any info you guys can provide.

Nils

P.S. I don't suppose any of you guys would have anything like I'm looking for for sale?

Nils;

Check with Al and/or Miles from this site.

Last Sunday at the show I saw/played a couple of really NICE black Adamas 12 strings in their booth.

Don't know if they "went" or not.

You're looking for some sort of Elite model. All Ovation 12 strings are 1 7/8 at the nut.
