looking for a travel guitar

[patoadam]

I'm looking for an instrument that is tuned like a standard guitar but is smaller and therefore easier to travel with and to play. (Barre chords are not my friend.)

Filkers who play the Vagabond travel guitar, the Tacoma Papoose, and the Washburn Rover have graciously told me about the advantages and, in some cases, disadvantages of their instruments.

I would gratefully appreciate any comments on these or other travel guitars.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I got the Little Martin. Thanks for your help!

Take a look at the Baby Taylor. I know more than one person who is quite happy with theirs.

Also, I believe the Papoose is tuned to A. That's something to be aware of.

The Baby Taylor is very nice, although bigger than some of the alternatives.

Any travel guitar is a compromise between size and sound. The Baby Taylor is the closest I've seen to the ideal ratio.
