Try an electric 3/4 scale guitar.

Perfect for smaller hands.

Pretty good for medium sized ones, too. :)

Hmm, good advice, but even on a regular size guitar, I find it tricky to hit some of those tight chord shapes too, because my hands are small but my fingers are a bit fat. For example, an open A chord, I can’t use three fingers to fret it or I’ll have the strings buzzing. I have to use 2 or even just 1 finger to get that. So if the fretboard was smaller, yes, I could do stretches easier, but then I’d be screwed playing the tighter chords...

Plus, I’ve been playing piano so long now most of it is second nature. On guitar I have to sit and think things through, and that is such a pain once you are used to being able to just play by ear on another instrument.
