Here's what Fender says: 
The GC-42S is perfect for players wanting a guitar with a smaller body, or who simply want to add a different tonal "color" to their palette. The GC-42S incorporates a slightly smaller Grand Concert-style body, Fender design neck profile, abalone position markers, tortoise shell-style binding, AA Grade solid Spruce top, and a solid Mahogany back.

ARION by WASHBURN, circa 1920, all solid mahogany B&S, Spruce top, $750
I own one, and wouldn't sell it, because I couldn't find another as good sounding! pics at right. The back has had many repairs, and I've improved them, but it's still a cosmetically rough back. The sides and the top are in great shape, and best of all the sound!

WASHBURN 1897 Style "New Model" Parlor Guitar $895  
Brazilian rosewood B&S, spruce top, ebony fingerboard.   »CLICK HERE FOR PICS
Great sounding, they don't get any warmer or fuller for this size,  and in good condition  for it's age (about 100 years!) Plays and sounds killer (my least favorite adjective. I much prefer "fucking great"). I've re-intonated the saddle by putting a wider one in, so that i now plays in tune.  (sermon follows)  Most of these older Washburns and Martins (older as for very recently for Martins) don't play exactly in tune because they didn't put a wide enough saddle in them to compensate properly for the B string. As a result the B and often the 6th E, play sharp! There is room now to lower the bridge if it ever becomes necessary.

Larger Sized Guitars

HOHNER-GRUHN medium jumbo, Mahogany model $399 
Actually NEW. See it on the New Guitar Page.  Wonderful thin neck and very full tone and balance, not boomy or overly bassy.

TACOMA CHIEF C1C   $499, with Dean neck!
A lot of great reviews on harmony central click here   Here's an excerpt of one: "SOUND 10. Ok hard to describe....Cool and very modern tone is emitted from this guitar. *Very unusual* Not your run of the mill tone in anyway. It is a bit smaller in booming volume, due of course to cavity size. But projection is unreal better than any guitar I've owned. It cuts, slices and dices most other acoustics in any arena." I agree completely this guitar is a winner, an amazing tone, which can really cut through when you want it to, or be mellow!
