A 3/4 steel string guitar could work for you also.

We got a 3/4 steel string guitar for my kids a few years ago. I think it is the perfect thing to learn on. It is much easier to play...the strings are easier on the fingers and the frets are closer together.

Even though it's small, an adult can play it fine. I can even bend notes which I find hard to do on a regular acoustic. I play it all of the time.

Not all 3/4 size guitars are equal...3/4 seems to be a blanket term for "smaller than usual". Go to a store and check out what they have. We have a Mitchell (Guitar Center house brand) that we are happy with.

The smaller size will not sound as good as a full size acoustic...it's thin and tinny sounding in comparison. If you are using it as a learning tool and a way to ramp up to a full size guitar, than you don't have to worry about that.
