I want to learn a musical instrument, I am however torn between the ukulele and a 3/4 size guitar. any advise?

I’d go with the guitar.

Ukeleles are fairly limited in the sounds they can create, whereas guitars can sound like ukeleles AND *all kinds* of other ways.
Guitars can also be played in quite complicated ways or in very simple ones, so you could just stick with the simpler ones first then be in a good place to go to more and more guitar things. (And once you learn even simple guitar, it would be easy to pick up a ukelele and play some stuff, though it wouldn’t work as easily in the other direction.)

My 2 cents anyway (and I have played both a little),

    I’d go with the ukulele. Where i’m from guitar players are a dime a dozen. Ukulele just sounds more unique. Besides once you can play that it shouldn’t be too hard to play the guitar.
