Donahueghs,
I could recommend several good quality guitars in a wide price range (not sure what your comfort level might be), but the best advice I could give is to go to a local guitar store and play as many as possible. As with your friends, some are larger than others some smaller with narrower fret boards and some have a bigger sound. If you play enough you will find one that fits your body, your wallet and your lifestyle. Good luck on your journey.
