Hi. I am a beginner who has a hard time playing any of mu hubby's guitars, they are just too big, and they hurt my hands really bad... my baby sister has a 3/4 scale (from walmart) that seems to be perfect as far as size... but I would like to upgrade . Any suggestions on a decently priced beginner 3/4 scale? I looked at the Dean Evo J... but could not find any reviews...

The Dean Playmates are cool little guitars. They play good and sound sound. Are best seller here is the Hondo mini guitars. We have a hard time keeping them in stock. They come in Strat or Les Paul style models

I would recommend either one!

Here's the thing... I don't want a kid's guitar... can I find somthing to get away from that? The Hondo and the Evo J are all saying they are geared for children! My kids have kids guitars... I want a big girl one!

They say kids guitars but I have one by my computer so I can grab and do online lessons etc.

I own a small "kiddie" guitar as they are known as...I actually bought a fender one and it wouldnt stay in tune so I exchanged it for a yamaha...Ive had bad luck with fenders...My hands are not to big so I can play the smaller guitars fine...If you have big hands it might be a problem.
