    Ok, I am going to add one more thing to @Moonhare post. Now that you have an idea of the different sizes of the guitar, you have to keep in mind the width of the neck. Up near the nut (top of the neck when it connects to the head stock) is the thinnest area, make sure you can get your hand around it to make chords. I’m including a small chart (I’m a visual kind of gal, charts make sense to me faster). The jpg is just a small example, google “guitar neck sizes” and you see a million of them. I was going to buy a Resonator Guitar on-line and just happen to go to the guitar store to try it out and guess what? Yep, I couldn’t make a chord without dislocating my finger joints. the fretting area was huge. Then there are the slide guitars that have a squared off neck, but those are meant to be played on your lap with a slide, drum stick or whatever else you want to bounce off the strings. Are you totally confused yet?
