suggestions for entry level smaller bodied guitar

[tartanbeastie]

I was asked to recommend some acoustics for a friend who wants to buy one for an xmas gift. problem being that its for a girl who is very slight in stature so dreads and jumbos may not be suitable. parlour sized or folk was my train of thought. possibly yamaha,epiphone or even daisy rock...

any other ideas?? budget of approx $200-$250

Baby Taylor if they can swing the extra $50:

Lookin for one myself. To me the Baby Taylor has the lowest action. My wife liked it. I also tried the Baby Martin and Yamaha Junior (not sure of model) on Black Friday. Both also are parlor size. The Martin also is pretty good. The Yamaha Jr. seems pretty decent for half the price. All are tempting me for after Xmas.
