Question

im looking for a guitar for my first one but i dont want a little toy kid one i want it the regular size , how many inches is that

Answer 1

A "full size" guitar should be somewhere between 39" & 41" from the top of the headstock to the bottom of the body.

A "standard size guitar," with is about 7/8 actual size, is about 36" long.

Answer 2

Full Size Acoustic Guitar

Answer 3

That really varies depending on whether it's a jumbo, dreadnought, or a smaller bodied concert or auditorium style body. There really isn't a standard size. Most full size guitars have either a 24.75" or 25.5" scale length though, which is the length from the nut to the bridge (the vibrating length of the strings). The body of the guitars come in all kinds of shapes and sizes though. Some are 3" thick and some are closer to 5" or 6" thick. They can have different width upper and lower bouts and some come in more in the middle. Some have a cutaway and some don't. The only way to know if a guitar is a comfortable size and shape for you is to sit down and and hold it (or stand up and hold it if you prefer). You can go to any web site for guitar makers though and get exact dimensions for any particular guitar you want. I can't possibly list them all here. Again, there isn't a "standard" size. For a full size dreadnought acoustic (the most typical style), here are some approximate dimensions for the guitar body (not including the neck): Width 15.75" (lower bout - the widest part) Depth/thickness 4.75" Length 20" (from the lower end to where the neck joins the body) (Those are for an Ibanez AW70NT)

Answer 4

Any of these highly rated guitars are for adults:

There are various sizes though (about 36" - 41") but none of these are cheap, toy guitars. A smaller guitar doesn't mean it's for kids, it's made for comfort just like clothes in smaller sizes can be worn by adults who have a smaller frame.

As long as it's not made of plastic and isn't the size of a ukelele or have glitter all over it or a picture of Dora the Explorer on it, you're good to go. :)

Answer 5

There are primarily three distinct sizes of acoustic guitars: the parlor guitar, which is small, but compact. The auditorium size, which is powerful in its own right, and the dreadnought size, the largest of the common guitars having full resonance and tone.

I first learned on a parlor guitar, an LG-3 Gibson, but moved to the dreadnought types and remain so with them. Many people prefer a smaller size because it brings less strain on the arms and affords more comfortability.

By all means, test all three types before you buy.
