We recently repaired a Baby Taylor. It was not a very good instrument. After repairing the damage, had to move the bridge saddle to the correct position, a guitar-making basic that the factory had overlooked. We see poor saddle placement on Seagulls, also. A year or 2 ago Yamaha offered the JR-1, a nice trouble-free instrument at under $200. Hope it's still available. Yamaha is a great choice for durability, a very important feature for younger players. The nylon string Amada guitars in 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 7/8 sizes are usually great after a proper setup.
