However acoustics have wider neck so please advise me on a entry level (I am on a budget) acoustic. The yamaha f310 get very good reviews, but I don't know how userfriendly it will be with small hands. Thanks.


I've found that Takamines (ovations too) seem to have smaller necks. In general, Japanese guitars do (ones that are made for the Japanese market). It's one of the reasons I can't play a Japanese strat. Nice guitars though.
