Nylon string guitar w/ narrow nut - Ibanez AEG10NE, maybe?

[RomanS]

I'm looking for a low- to mid-priced (below 500$) classical/nylon string guitar - I play electric most of the time, don't want to learn classical style, but want to use the nylon string sound for a band project.
Now, I do have an old beat-up no-name nylon string guitar at home, that I used for strumming chords to back up songs at the campfire, and stuff like that, but I think I'd prefer something with a narrower nut, closer to the steelstrings I'm used to - say, something in the 45-48mm / 1-3/4" to 1-7/8" range.
Ortega has the RC131SN small neck that would fit the description, except I'd like something with a cutaway and a pickup better - I was thinking about the Ibanez AEG10NE, supposedly it has a narrower neck, though I couldn't find any definite info (Ibanez doesn't list the nut width on their site - several stores list it at 43mm / 1-11/16", but that seems to narrow for nylon strings, I think they are just confusing it with the steel-string AEG10 (sans NE)).
Anyone can confirm the nut width of that Ibanez? Any other models I should look at? I know there's one by Yamaha, but that's priced much higher.

check out the Yamaha APX series - they play like butter and have a decent pickup built in, too. i have an APX 9-N ( hybrid pickup/mic system ) for stage use and it is the most comfortable nylon-string i ever played. small body, cutaway, nice and very modern neck-contour and still cheap, especially used. don't expect much in acoustic volume or tonal depth - it's for plugging in and then they shine !

Thanks! Yeah, I guess that's the Yamaha model I was thinking about above - new they are a bit too espensive for me, I guess I'll have to look for a used one; BTW, since this is mostly going to be used with a band, I don't really care about what it sounds like unplugged, I only need a good sound through the PA.

good - i bought mine used, too and have been using it for the past 5 years. look for the second-generation models with the hybrid pickup system - definitely the best deal. good luck !

BTW, I'd still appreciate hearing experiences about the Ibanez AEG, though!
