1000.00 00/00 Short Scale Recommendations
Good Day
Looking for a recommendation for a small body, short scale guitar. I only wish the Martin 15 Series were Shortys. Best Ron |

Perhaps an Eastman 00? They've been getting a lot of love on the AGF lately.
And Breedlove has some good choices in that price range. Their Concertina bodies are 00-size. And 12-fret, if that makes a difference. |

1000.00 00/00 Short Scale Recommendations
Pono has 0&00 size guitars with 24&3/4 scale length. At one point in time they had a December sale on in stock instruments. That’s how I was able to acquire my 00-40VS a few years back in your price range. It’s a fantastic guitar. It would be worth contacting them concerning what they have at this point in time.
Hope that helps. |

If you are talking Martin 12 fret designs, 000 have stad scales (25.4") but 00, and 0 have 24.9" scales.
If you are looking for 14 fretters, others can advise.

I love my Eastman E10 OO. For much less money my Alvarez 14 fret “parlor” which is really an OO, is lovely. It’s solid top laminate b/s. They make 12 fret models in solid top and all solid versions. They’re all short scale.

If I were in the market for what you're looking for I'd get one of the U.S. made Guild M-20 guitars. Just slightly above your price point, but you can probably come very close if you message some of the dealers.

Yeah, those are underrated. I’m really, really impressed - they are very much like a small OM with shorter scale. Love mine.
