Its an encore acoustic guitar. Is there such a thing as a full size guitar/ 3/4 size guitar etc? is what i meant, not literally how to measure it as such.

The suggestion above, to measure from the nut to the bridge, gives you the scale length. A standard acoustic has a scale length of 24 - 26 inches. Smaller than that, and you could call it a 3/4. From the above, a 3/4 might measure 18 - 20 in.
Another way to do it is to measure the body & neck together. A standard steel string measures just over 40 in from head to base - the entire length. A classical (gut/nylon strings) is generally 38-39 in. Take 3/4 of that to see where the guitar fits in this scale.
Hope this helps.

Measure the neck from the bridge to the top nut (the bit that guides the strings - fret 0 if you like). This will tell anyone who knows anything what size the guitar is.
