Today I tried a Yamaha LS16 and a Seagull S6 Folk at Rose Morris in Denmark Street, London. Both wide neck, both smaller bodied, both £449.
I found the Yamaha noticeably livelier (someone said 'brighter') and I preferred it.
But it seemed quite similar to my Crafter DLX3000/SK, though less bass. So buying another guitar seemed unjustified.
The Yamaha LS16 is solid woods throughout. The Seagull is only solid top.
Similar nut widths but much wider saddle spacing on the Yamaha - be a challenge to strum I think.
Both nice to play.
