right, but there are many sub categories. I have a Martin d28 or 37 or something.... damn, i can never remember. but it's shallower than my other two, lighter, and LOUDER.

My dad used to have a 69 Gibson Jumbo. HUGE big guitar. that one there looks like it might be a shade smaller than a regular guitar. What I found on 'Folk Guitars' said they were smaller, sometimes 3/4 necks. SHorter neck = looser strings = more bending notes.

My little backpacker guitar is a 3/4 neck, and I really like that aspect of it. Might be why it came with nylon strings too, Ib.
