Hi @Donnie_1020 Just a couple thoughts on your search for a more playable guitar. I have small pudgy fingers. Bill Brown mentioned a smaller nut size but when I accidentally played a Street version Martin with a 1 11/16″ width, it was terrible. Short scale is nice all though I don’t own one. I used to complain about my Jumbo that I bought years ago. ” It was too big, too bulky. My arms couldn’t go around the neck. My stomach was ih the way.” Then, someone sent me this video of Korean children playing full size guitars. I never complained again. I kept the jumbo and use it for alternate tunings. I bought an af77 OM size Alvarez that is very comfortable for $375.
Whatever you buy play it first! Go to a music store and play many instruments. The right size and feel will talk to you.
