Forget the rest just go to Carvin,com and check out the great buy on the Cobalt Acoustic they are very nice.
Most acoustic guitar makers just copy Martin's sizing except for the huge "Jumbo" guitars. We have Gibson to blame for those. Here's a (very) rough guide. Anything smaller than OOO/OM tends to get called a "parlour guitar" these days.Originally Posted by MAXIFUNK

I was impressed with the Washburn I played recently, but couldn't tell you the model...
I also enjoyed a Seagull as well recently. Both models were in your price range, and played well.

Check out the Silver Creek and Recording King line of 000-size guitars in the $200-$300 range. These are fine sounding guitars and very inexpensive. Pay someone who knows what they are doing to set them up, maybe $50 or less, with good phosphor bronze light gauge strings. You might find that you won't need to upgrade to a better one as she learns. I have both guitars. And to my ears they sound and play as good if not better than guitars I recently replaced costing a thousand bucks more.
The Washburn EA20 is a very nice smaller guitar.

A Kona K2 is one Ive recommended many times over the years with players playing them still 5-6 years later. Just get someone to do a nice setup when you first get it and you'll be very pleased.
