Hi John @Mr_Boy, There was a similar conversation earlier this year on choosing a smaller acoustic guitar. Have a peek over here for lots more input. A very quick summary of my experience: many folks love the playability of the Taylor neck, but I just couldn’t bond with it; I loved the Guild M-20 in my hands, but the all-mahogany body wasn’t the sound I was looking for…bummer; and while I still wish I had been able to find a Larivee to play, I ended up with a Martin 00 body size and couldn’t be happier! Oh - the 000 body size is also pretty compact, and I think there are more options in that size, so you might check those out as well if you’re interested in a Martin.
