I've been continuing my search for a while, and i think i've narrowed it down to two different makes and models. The first:
[url=http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/the-loar-lh-250-small-body-acoustic-guitar]The Loar LH-250[/url]
The second: [url=http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/taylor-gs-mini-mahogany-acoustic-guitar]Taylor GS Mini[/url]
The two big differences: Both are small body guitars, but the LH-250 has a full 25.5 scale and the GS Mini has a shortened 23.5 scale.
The LH-250 is mahogany sides/back with a spruce top, the GS Mini is all mahogany.
So I need some opinions. Does a shortened scale have any negative effects on playability in your opinion? And do you prefer spruce or mahogany tops?

Edited by Coup de Grace: 1/29/2013 1:20:18 AMI have a Maple GS Mini, and it sounds beautiful Of course the mahogany wood is going to be a lot different, so I can't help you here. But I can say this; I feel very little difference between the GS Mini vs other guitars (speaking in terms of the neck and playability). I actually have almost if no difficulty at all switching from the neck of a GS Mini to the neck of regular sized guitars. The small size makes it a little harder to reach anything past the 12th fret, though
