Newbie questions about the FG700S size for someone who owns one I am considering selling my guitar and getting this one because I think mine is just too big for me. Can someone who owns this guitar give me some measurements, such as the width of the neck, the thickness of the body, and maybe the width of the widest part of the body? I'd like to compare it to mine. I would really appreciate it, thanks!

FYI, this guitar has pretty standard measurements for a dreadnought shape. I feel like the fretboard has a little more room than my other guitar, though. That might mean my other guitar's fretboard is small, though.

Neck width at 12th fret is 2 1/8 inches (first fret is 1 7/8")Body thickness is just a hair over 4 1/4"Widest part of the body is about 16 1/4"hope that helps

I don't have the ability to compare to another guitar but I find the fretboard room enough for me as a beginner. I am not a young beginner and if it were any wider, I would have difficulty stretching enough to make the chords. My son occasionally plays around with it, he is also a beginner, and is always complimenting my guitar set up and feel.

Hi M. Stewart, I own a G9126 and even that it is a small beautiful guitar the neck is almost as wide as a regular size guitar. I think the space between frets and strings will be to big for a small hands kid. The Cordoba guilele and Yamaha gitalele will be more suitable for your kid (because of the thinner neck they have), they are both cheaper on price and quality but not that much on sound. The Yamaha comes in different colors.....you can also check smallguitars.com

I do not quite understand your question. In my opinion, it is an excellent guitar, the sound and the look are pleasant to me, especially its size fits my short fingers pretty well.

I honestly don't know I'm afraid as I' not too familiar with other guitar models. I went to the Ibanez website and used the contact us link to ask them a question and they responded in under 2 days. I thought it would be best to ask someone at Ibanez as they would be the best to answer. I thin that if you looked up the model at Ibanez they even told yold you on the details page what the correct case would be. Sorry I couldn't be of more help and answer your question directly.

This is a GREAT guitar for a beginner. When you say parlour size, I don't know what you mean. This guitar has a dreadnought body style. It is a smaller body. I'm a 5'4" female. Finding a guitar to fit me was a trial. This one fits me perfectly.

Does the fact that is 39 1/2" long help? I would say offhand that is 7/8 size. I'm a beginner ;and I love this guitar.

The neck is narrower than some guitars, but you would be wise to check the actual dimensions and compare that to your finger lengths, as well as to other guitars you've tried.

This is an awesome guitar. The guitar is made well and looks very nice. However, it can easily be damaged if dropped or banged against something. I am a girl with small hands and it is much easier for me to play with this smaller guitar. I don't really know how big six year old hands are but I think this 3/4 guitar would be easier to use than the normal size ones. Hopes this helps.

I was in the same boat. This is the first guitar I have owned PERSONALLY and I love it. Had it for 6 months or so now. Now that I know a bit more about guitars it is still one of the best sounding and solid guitars I've played. I would recommend finding one and trying it out as everyone likes different sounds. But 300 dollars for a very solid guitar isn't bad at all. I'd just go for it, it'll serve you well.

I can't answer that question. It is a 3/4 size guitar so if you know the size a real guitar's Length and width, you can multiply those dimensions by .75 to find. However, I would highly suggest against buying this. The one we received was no better than a toy guitar. The tuning knobs would not retain their tension (you'd see them actually turn back as you were playing), but even while it was "in tune" it sounded horrible. Find something else.

It's a classic guitar... looks lovely and sounds great. I don't know how wide is the neck. It is standard.

personally I think it would be too large. Our daughter is 17 and began guitar this year and bought this model and it is large and heavier than other models. I would recommend a lighter, smaller one.

Seagull S6 Original Acoustic GuitarCome on guys--help me out here, pleaseeeeeeee? What is the item number for a hard, durable and well-fitting case for this guitar? I thought somebody would have responded by now. :-(

No it is not full size. It is a "parlor size". It is nearly perfect for a beginner although is great for anyone. Parlor size guitars have the 12 fret at the body of the guitar.

I ordered a Recording King about a year ago, it arrived, I played it and before 10 days were up I sent it back. It was not the quality I was looking for. So, I'm sorry, I don't know the widest part of this guitar. I got something better for a slightly less price.

I have a Yamaha guitar, no sure about the size, but is big. The guitar fit with a little of effort. The main complain I have is that it's very unconfortable to carry on my back. The straps are bad located (I hate them). Hope this helps you, Thanks.
