Hello guitar man,

What do you mean with a short scale acoustic guitar? A steelstring flat top with a 24-3/4" scale or thereabouts, or are you looking for something shorter than that?
If you're looking for anything shorter, how short should it be?

Sincerely,

Hello guitar man,

A good short scale guitar for less than$ 600.00 is going to be a little tricky and 'good' is obviously a relative term. I'm quite sure that there are several 'good' imports available in that price range.
But since this is the Guild forum there is probably not a whole lot you can get in a Guild, without getting into 'guitars that need work' territory.

Probably one of the best deals you can get right now is this one:

http://www.gbase.com/Stores/Gear/GearDetails.aspx?Item=830642

It is listed as a 1984 but it shows a photo of a late '90s F-30. I would think they dated it wrong and if that's the case, it should have a short scale. I realize this is a little bit more than $ 600.00 but keep in mind that this is the asking price. You might get a little off the price.

Good luck!

Sincerely,

Hans Moust

Try a Seagull or a Recording King- they are short scale. Also the new Guild GAD M20 and F20 are short scale. I may have a GAD F20 for sale- pm me if you're interested!
