Acoustics with Shorter Scale Length

GruGru Frets: 339
in Acoustics
I know there are a few obvious ones that get discussed quite often:
Martin LX range (23)
Taylor GS Mini (23.5?)
Faith Mercury (24)

But are there many others? I am thinking around the £500 bracket.

Something I have noticed with my LXM is that using slightly lighter strings than recommended doesn't get the top moving.

What I do like is the playing comfort of a slightly shorter scale.

The new Martin 15/16 dreadnaught junior (24") looked interesting at the Namm show, but not yet on sale.

I am sure I am missing a few?

    Simon & Patrick. I think they all have the 24.75 Gibson scale - my daughter's Songsmith certainly does.

    Definately consider the guild f20 (usa) or the guild gad f120, truly amazing guitars :-)
