| Post subject: | Body dimensions of a "concert" acoustic |
I have a request to build an instrument like the Yamaha AC1R. Yamaha lists it as a 'concert size guitar' But nowhere can I find what their definition of 'concert' is. Can anyone please shed some light on this and what general body length, upper and lower bout and waist dimensions might be? I figure it is a 19 1/2", 15" lower bout but I just don't know. Thanks, Dave |

Maybe check Taylor's website for the dimensions of their "Grand Concert"? |

That's a nice looking body. This post says it's about 000 size: http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/foru ... p?t=242154 Oddly, Taylor's 'Grand Concert' is 15" wide... http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/foru ... ostcount=7 Marketing over tradition, I suppose. |

Good points -- name things like people expect. I wonder if the alternate names tend to be pitched towards the newbies. |

It is a good thing that Martin does not "protect" their size designations, we'd have to describe the dimensions of our guitars. |
