Acoustic guitar size similar to classical guitar's?

[vinchan]

I have only had dreadnought size steel string and never felt comfortable about it

I love my nylon string classical guitar;just normal size one with 650mm scale length

What kind of body sizes(0, 00, 000, etc) of steel string guitar have similar size of classical guitar? (including depth)

I think 00 is what you want.

Larrivee makes an acoustic steel string in a classical shape. In fact, it was their first model, I believe, and kind of their claim to fame early on.

My Taylor Grand Concert 12 fret is pretty close in size to my classical except for the narrower neck width.

I have a Recording King ROS-06 FFE it's probably what you are looking for and has a slot head, I love it and the neck width is right and sounds great (and it won't break you to buy)

O or OO depends whos making it but usually OO

+1 On the Larrivee. Look into the L series.

IIRC, the body of the LV-19 Special Vine Edition guitar I owned had overall dimensions similar to that of a typical dreadnought, 16" (lower bout width) x 20" (overall body length) x 5" (depth at end block of the body). It does have a shape like that of a typical classical guitar but its body is larger.

I concur. In fact, here is a picture of my Taylor Grand Concert 322ce 12-fret and my flamenco guitar side by side.

Gibson F25 "Folksinger"?

14.5 inch lower bout, 2 inch nut width, and flat non-radiused fretboard

Gibson's LG and B series (including the Folksinger shown above) are very close to classical in outline. There's also the Seagull / Simon & Patrick Folk size that is very similar.

I just picked up this Eastman which is in the ballpark of what you're talking about. Great sounding guitar and I love the smaller size. AC708CE

 

[rickenbackerkid]

I'm pretty sure the Larrivee L series, while similar in shape, are quite a bit bigger that a standard classical. I have a Gibson LG, it's exactly classical size and shape, very comfortable guitar. You could look into a Parlour too, even smaller that a classical

Yes, 00 or OM. My Velazquez classical fits very well in the case of my Bourgeois OM.

Larrivee L-09 or other L model
