What hasn't been chucked in yet is the Corth Earth Mini, which has a solid cedar top and mahogany back and sides.
The Mini has a Spruce solid spruce top ? But for a beginner this shouldn't make that much of a difference.
A slightly cheaper alternative to the Earth Mini is the Cort Jade1/Jade1E/Jade2. I honestly fell in love with the one I played (Jade2F) and it was pastel pink! ? Don't worry... You get the Jade1 in white, Natural and black ?
It's slightly bigger than the 3/4 earth mini but still a small guitar.
