Recommendations for a tiny guitar

[Phanto]

Hey everyone, im looking for a small sized acoustic guitar for practicing,bringing around. It needs to be small sized so it can be very easily transported. Perhaps smaller than a baby taylor, I think the baby is slightly too large for my purposes. Perhaps, a little larger than a ukelele. I thought of getting a ukelele, but id rather stick to what I know better, a guitar.

I've seen some of the lower priced options available at one of the local stores at peninsular, but Im hoping to actually get something thats well constructed and decent sounding and perhaps of a higher price, budget about <500SGD. I dont expect extremely zhng sound from a guitar this size, but I want something 'nice' sounding, and something that feels and sounds better than 50 dollar kapok.

Can someone advise me on some of the options I have?

Cheers

Backpacker guitars? Like these:

At least they would sound like guitars (as compared to ukeleles)

why not try a ukulele?
looks real cute.
sounds cute too!

Or perhaps a half-size guitar, any recommendations?

you head over to sinemax to try the baby taylor or city music to try to baby martin. these 2 are definitely within your budget.

or you can head over to swee lee and get a Ibanez gio mikro and an ac-3 to achieve something like that tone in your head .

thanks jerry for the very helpful advice. Ive decided to settle for a Martin LX1 which is a baby version with a solid sitka spruce top.

Cheers!
