Hi buffalo gal!
I returned to guitar after many years. My “original” guitar was from SEARS, in the 60’s! So my gift to myself during COVID was a refurbished Baby Taylor, which sounds lovely and made the reach up and down the fretboard much easier. I wanted a fuller sound so I did a lot of online comparing and my budget was limited so I went for an Epiphone dreadnaught. Nice full sound but I discovered the reach brought back old shoulder issues. One more try on line, still again after much comparing within my price range I am happy with a Cordoba mini, parlor size. I have found, yes, they will give you measurements and you can usually call if needed. Do much comparing for features which are important to you. Deal with someone reasonably local, in the US at least, with a good guarantee/warranty policy. They have shipped well; double wrapped, double boxed and no problems there. Guitar shops are good to support your community and they can often offer you service that is really helpful. You decide and best to you in the process!
