Hi Danny,

I have fancied the Takemine nylon acoustic I saw one afternoon at a local music store that fell below the $500 mark. it was a hybrid in that it contains an internal pickup. I was quite pleased with the playability and sound. As for neck width, I could not tell you the spec on it. My fingers are rather long so I was able to get around it without problem. I like the wide gap between strings in a nylon acoustic.

Just one more for ya! Let us know what you purchase!
Cheers,
RickeG
