I love the Ibanez Mikro, it’s a super reliable, fun-to-play model, but the look is quite distinctive and isn’t for everyone.

From the quality that I saw in the brand, I would think these would probably be a good choice.

If you aren’t familiar with guitars, you will have to have the re-stringing done professionally because it can involve changes to the bridge and the nut that, in some cases, can be difficult or costly to modify. If you are interested in a right-handed guitar that is symmetrical and (preferably) nylon-strung/classical style, you can get around this by having the guitar restrung in reverse order.
