Hi @Moonhare, maybe this will help. I’ve included a couple of pictures with some (not all) sizes shapes of the guitar. The Dreadnought is a large guitar with a lot of sound. The Parlor is a smaller (maybe 3/4 size). I have a Martin D-28 (D for Dreadnought), it’s large, it might even be a little too big. I was a newbee when I purchased it. I have a 1/2 size Classical (it’s easy on the fingers because 3 of the strings are nylon). One that really fits my size is the Taylor mini (3/4 size). Last but not least….. a 1/4 size entry guitar that I can use in front of the computer. Oh, and a 3/4 size guitar doesn’t mean it’s 3/4 the size of a full size guitar. It’s just a couple inches smaller. The same goes with the 1/2 size and 1/4 size. I’m sure someone else will answer that might be able to answer your question better, but….. I wanted to give it a try 😉
