I am going to appreciate your answers!. Thank you!!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It depends on the type of "acoustic" guitar!. Remember all guitars (except the "flat-board" electric guitar) are "acoustic" since their sound comes out of the body (box) !. Classical guitars (nylon strings) have a bit smaller body than steel-strings acoustics!. However, the standard size for the "scale size" of the guitar is determine by the distance from the nut (neck) to the bridge saddle!. The longer the scale size the more likely you will need to "spread" your fingers to reach a given fret!. Almost all guitars are made with 650mm scale length (about 25!.6") !. People with short fingers prefer a "short scale" and longer finger players prefer a "long scale" instruments!. The total length of the guitar from the top of the head to the end of the soundboard (box) does not necessary reflect the scale length of the guitar!. The steel-strings instruments players do consider the size of the sound board (box part of the guitar) as an indication of how much volume (loudness) it will bring out!. The quality of construction and the wood used for the soundboard is the important factor in this matter!. Remember that playability should be the criteria that you should consider first in getting YOUR guitar!. I myself play a classical guitar with a 620mm scale that sounds as good as my guitar with a 650mm scale!. When I stand them side to side the 620mm is less than 1/2 inch shorter than the 650mm!. If you are planning in buying a guitar make sure you try many instruments within your price range before making a final decision!. Then once you select one do try guitars at double the price of the one you choose to determine if the added price is worth the difference is sound and playability!. Surprisingly, many times it will be hard to tell the difference!.
