| Post subject: | Definitions of guitar sizes |
On Filippo's parlor bracing thread there is some discussion on what defines a parlor. I have never seen a chart that has the size and shape definitions for the different models. I did not find anything on google with a quick search. Size ranges of guitars? And while I am asking for definitions, what is zoot, as far as I can tell it is a term for nice tone wood. 3/4 (3/4 of which size?) parlor 0 oo ooo oooo OM SJ MJ J D- Does D stand dread? Classical- are these mostly the same size? I must be missing some, feel free to add. Rob |
