How big is this guitar? I'm a small person, so looking for something not too big!

This kind of guitar is a dreadnought, developed by the C.F. Martin guitar company back in 1916. I recommend consulting Wikipedia if you wish to know more.

It's about 40" long and the biggest part of the base is about 16". I'd suggest a 3/4 scale guitar for you if you are small. I am 5'4" 125 lbs and it's a little difficult to play for me but I bought it for my husband anyway.

This is a very standard size guitar. It is not a small version by any means.

This one is too big. It was much bigger than the description made it out to be. It would be for a large person in my opinion.

This is a full-sized guitar. There are 3/4 size guitars on the market, but this is not one of them.

The fret board is 23 and 1/5 inches . its length is almost like a full sized guitar , the benefit is the small body ideal for travel.

This is a standard size. I believe it is a little big for you. I suggest you to go to a shop and try different guitars; then, start searching something like those you liked most either because the size or another special feature.

Slightly smaller than normal guitars but longer neck than the GS Mini. Lighter and more portable than normal size guitars but with a good sound. Be sure to stress in your communicae to the vendor whos shipping it to you that you want non marblized neck and a top thats less engrained since Taylor usses every piece of wood they can find for these lower priced guitars. By marblized I mean white shades mixed in with the dark wood used for the fretboard. Nice carrying bag. Go to your nearest guitar store first and check it out so you know what youre getting.

Unfortunately it's a bit heavy - mine is 8.1 lbs exactly - but it is still a great guitar - I upgraded the neck pickup with a GFS wide pole neck pup and it sounds wonderful - the stock neck pickup sucks. I get complements on the looks and sound from many people. Keep in mind it is a very versatile guitar.

This is a little kid's guitar. The body is tiny, the neck very narrow and the sound twangy. I had a hard time hitting chords because the neck was too small. For kids though, it's a perfect guitar. As for measurements, its 34" long.

Height is irrelevant for person of 5' and taller. It is a medium size guitar.. so I don't see any reason for height to be a concern. Enjoy strumming :)

43" x 6" x 19" standard dreadnought size similar to an Epiphone. Mine came with just a cable. Very nice guitar for the money. You should take it to a guitar store and have it set up. Also the strings suck put D'Addorio's on in place!

I would say that this guitar is the average size. If it's a bit too big, she'll grow, and I'm site she'll like it, I do. :)

I'm the same height, 5'5"-ish. The FG700S is playable but a smaller one would probably be easier. After having this guitar for a while, I went to a guitar store to look for a more comfortable guitar. The guys at the store advised me to look into parlor guitars or "folk-size" guitars instead of dreadnoughts. (I haven't bought a smaller guitar yet but am seriously considering purchasing one soon.)

This is a great little guitar and would be perfect for a child! The small size of it would help him/her manage it better! It sounds really nice as well! Good luck!

Hi, AEA. This was the second guitar that I bought, so I was a novice when I started using it as well. I would say that neck is about average in comparison to other guitars, but it's been perfect for me (I have average-sized hands). Other than that, it plays very well and has given me no issues in the six months that I've had it. I would definitely recommend it, AEA, but if your hands are really small, then you might want to seek out a guitar with a thinner neck.

I am not an expert and I bought it for my fiance who is also not an expert (amature guitar player) and he said it was a decent starter guitar. So I would say that it probably is a little less than full sized. My fiance still plays it and he says its fine, but I think a better guitar player would outgrow it.

Unfortunately I agree with Davids comments. While the size of the guitar is great for a child it is not really an instrument. It cannot be kept in tune and sounds horrible even when it is tuned. It won't inspire much love of playing when the sounds it makes are all so unsatisfying. Great toy for my 4 year old though!

This is a full size guitar. Please contact me with any other questions. Thank you, Adam GTRSTORE 646-460-8472

It is full sized. It has the same design as the expensive brand name guitars. For a rookie, it's a good guitar. You'll be able to learn the basics and begin to discover what you like and don't like about tone, sound, style, etc...which is fun!

I am adult and not a beginner and I use it as a travel guitar. If this is your only guitar, I recommend a full-size guitar. But if you want something small to knock around with, travel or practice with when you are away from home, it's a good choice.
