For the OP - The little Blackstar looks like a nice one. I know that it's apples to oranges but I have a recent Erlewine Chiquita (little guitar in Back to the Future) and I like it - very short scale of 19". You have to stop comparing these short scale little ones to a regular guitar. Playing one is a matter of adaptation.
Many players will use a Telecaster with a capo at the 5th or even 6th fret (Clarence Carter) - that's the way to think of these. Also the shorter scale needs heavier strings. I use 0.13's on my Chiquita and still tune up a bit. You really can't bend one of these to your will - it's and instrument and you have to learn to play it. Short scale with heavy strings is finger style magic. That said this small ones are cozy. They are great with a stuffed chair and blanket in cold weather. |
