Hi ,new here , I play acoustic guitar at some wineries on the weekends . my Martin is getting pretty beat up. I 'm looking for an acoustic with a cutaway ,1 3/4 at the Nut , electronics , and in an OM body style, no Dreads. I'm pushing 70 so I need something easy to play and hold .Any ideas? I am not familiar with the Guild models[guess I'll look em up now]. Thanks ! PS fingerpicking blues ,no strumming or flatpicking..
Gig guitar

“acoustic with a cutaway ,1 3/4 at the Nut , electronics , and in an OM body style”
I don’t know that Guild offers something to meet all those criteria, and I don’t know enough of the other maker’s product lines to know what’s out there for you, but I suspect someone will be along to throw out some recommendations if they exist. But wanted to extend a welcome to LTG!

A DCE-1 or a DV6 would do you, but they're both dreads.
Guild does make a couple though, the F-150CE and the OM-150CE both have 1 3/4" nuts

If you want a new Guild with these specs, I think your options are the OM-140CE (spruce/mahogany) or the OM-150CE (spruce/rosewood). I haven't played either one. They're both made in China, with all solid wood.
I think there have also been US-built models made in the past that could meet your criteria, which you could find used. The F-30RCE might be one to look into (though Guild specs for a given model have often changed over the years, so you'd want to confirm details like the nut width), and there are probably other ones I don't know about that someone else on the forum can give some information on.
