Eddie,

I have yet to hear a decent sounding Fender acoustic guitar.

Go for some type of narrow waist guitar (just about anything but dreadnought style) and if 3/4 scale is the thing, parlor guitars are the ticket. I have my cousin's Baby Taylor at home right now, and unfortunately, it needs a shim job on the neck. So it's hard to judge the sound quality of it. It's an interesting little guitar, as they don't brace the back, but get the stiffness needed by making it a rounded back (nothing as extreme as an ovation/applause).

There is also the 'big baby taylor'.

Now, if you want to travel to the land of the north you can make a few hour trip to one of the meccas of acoustic guitars in the entire world - Elderly Instruments. Be wary, this is one of those places that pulls on your wallet.

I like it even better than Gruhn Guitars, in Nashville TN, which is also a sort of mecca.

Don't think that everything is high priced, but guaranteed everything will be well looked after in the used department.

The thing is that if you buy used from them, you are taking on very little risk if the guitar is handed back to you because you'll be able to sell it for nearly what you bought it for.

Elderly is one of the things I miss the most about living in Michigan.

They have a HUGE selection of every imaginable body style and price point.
