I'm just starting and I have small hands and not great dexterity. What would be a good entry-level guitar for me? I currently have an Estaband Burswood and the neck seems a little wide.

Thanks

Here is an article by Sweetwater that may be helpful. Best Acoustic Guitars Under $500. I have one similar to the Seagull one in the article. Mine is an S6 M 450T. Im not sure how mine is different. It looks identical. I like it a lot but I'm not much of an acoustic player.

Good luck and have fun in your search.

Did you want to stay with nylon strings?

If you don't and want to try acoustic-Yamaha guitars are an excellent value.

Seagull has already been mentioned.

I have small hands and play a Guild M20, a Martin LX1 and have tried (and loved) the Yamaha Junior (it is. small guitar, like the martin, so I could not justify purchasing it).

If possible, find a store near you where you can try out the guitar and return it if it doesn't fit/suit you. I know that is difficult at this time. A local store may be willing to help you out. Even if by phone or email. The bonus-you will develop a relationship with a local guitar store.

Thank you. I ended up buying the Taylor GS Mini.
