I wouldn't buy a small "travel" size guitar since they tend be be very lacking tonally. I also don't find them comfortable to play because they are too small for comfort. I'd go for a slightly larger size guitar like the GS mini.
I bought a GS mini 10 years ago to teach my kids how to play guitar. It's a great guitar for people with small hands and its compact size makes it very easy to play. The GS mini also has a curved back that arches outward that helps give it loud volume for a small guitar. I found it on Craigslist for a great price. They are such a popular guitar for Taylor there are many of them out there for sale used. You should be able to find one for a reasonable price.

I’m not too concerned with acoustic sound surprisingly. I think it’s nice to have, but I plan on being plugged in on a headphone amp or PA most of the time. I actually tend to like the small bodies for their quiet sound which works a little better in hotel rooms for me.

Why not get a silent guitar then? Easy to travel with, quiet to others. There are some nice options out there for the cost of a modest standard guitar. |

You might also see if you can find some Breedlove Concertinas in your area. They're basically a 00 size. The less-expensive models (Discovery S, Pursuit S) have 1-11/16" nuts and some are laminate, with a price in the range of $400-$700, or less used.
Or are you looking for something that is compact for travel? If so, take a look at some of the guitars by Journey. They have a removable neck and go into a small backpack. |

How do silent guitars do for percussive playing?

Looks like one of my local shops stocks some Concertinas. Good price too. I'll have to try one out.

Hi, Yamaha silent will not work for percussive, since they have only a piezo and a modelling. Cordoba stage has to work ok, since there is a piezo and a body mic. The new Ibanez is gorgeous looking and if i remember well, has to have a piezo and a mic as well. |
