I don't get it. There are hardly any women on here

I think a lot of nylon Spanish guitars are 25” or so.
A full size one is typically 25.6" or 26" though mine feels longer still. Also a 2" wide nut is usual.

The only acoustic guitar I ever played that handled perfectly belonged to David Pleasance. It was built for him by "a little guy in Spain".
My 1st acoustic was very like the Yamaha FG150 in your (SheepDog's) pix. Mine was a FG140 I think. I filed down the bridge to make it playable. It was fine then.
My next acoustic was a Fylde Oberon which I got direct from the chief luthier Roger Bucknall. A much better guitar yes, but it was still hard to play and I did exactly the same thing to that one.
My Spanish (nylon string) guitar is a pig to play. The action cannot be lowered any further due to its design / construction. It was the most awkward one to play in the whole shop. I choose it because it sounds amazing.
So good luck on your quest! I will be very interested to see how you fare.

Hell you could just damn near list every Beefheart song.
First time I heard him was on Bongo Fury.
Girl you though he was a man but he was a muffin

Tman, truly sorry. Loved ones leave such a big hole in your life
I lost my partner Jan in 2014. Until then I'd only ever had a couple of guitars (for 40+ years). By 2016 I had a house full.

Not much difference between them. The Gibsons were the least bright and the SDs the brightest. It's all personal taste but I prefer the 'bright edge' removed.
The Fralins were pretty good too.

A thing of beauty to behold. Congrats and well scored

Reynardine - Bert Jansch (Reynardine is a supernatural fox become human)
When I saw Bert do this, I realised I had worked our the guitar parts entirely differently (ie: wrong!).
