Easily done! A small body 12 fret to the body design; the better ones are designated as 00 or 0 body design. A short scale one (short string length) would be better.
Such guitars can be more lightly constructed so they make more sound with less force applied to the strings. The big Dreds can make a big noise but they have to be struck hard to get it.
A solid top one would produce more sound than the cheaper laminated wood top ones but they cost more. However Recording King makes such a guitar (only 14 frets) available at under $200 new. I got one lightly used for $140 and it makes a big bass sound with little effort.
This is a classic design dating back 150 years and the high grade ones are some of the loveliest sounding guitars ever. Do a little research on the 00 and 0 sizes. - Steve
