How does this compare in size to a little martin?

Sorry, I've never owned or even seen a little martin. If it helps, I can say it is more or less the same size as a Daisy Rock Debutante 3/4. Only the Fender has more of a pear shape (as shown in the picture). The Fender MA-1, however, plays, feels and sounds spectacular for a 3/4. I am a 40 year old man and I find myself playing the MA-1 all the time. I currently teach three children (two 11 year old girls and one 9 year old boy) who had used the Daisy Rocks prior to my getting the MA-1 and right from the first day I switched them over to the MA-1, all three of them improved immensely. I realize this doesn't really answer your question about the size comparison but if you were thinking about purchasing the MA-1, I recommend it. It is a lovely guitar and I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed. I hope this helps.

This is the larger variation yes. The other is the mini, it's exceedingly small

In my opinion you should go for the hohner first. It's a very nice and light accordion. The buttons are so light too. I love my hohner panther, and from videos that I've seen on YouTube a lot of guys have this same exact accordion.

It it smaller than a "regular" guitar, at first I thought I had ordered a regular size version guitar, I just wanted acoustic with nylon strings and it being a Fender is a Plus. When I recieved it I love the size, it's alot smaller than you think but sitting it is so easy to play and for a child it is the perfect learning size. but I'm an adult and love the size. Honestly, I did not know they can in this smaller size.. I love it!!

I bought my son, 10, a regular size strat and was a bit too big for him. (You could go into a local guitar store and have him try a regular vs 3/4 size.) So we went with the 3/4 strat and kept the regular one which I enjoy playing. He is smaller than your average boy at 10 yrs old. I also had some debate about acoustic vs. electric as well. I'm very glad I went with electric because he really enjoys making different sounds with the guitar and amp. It is really keeping his interest high.

I will check the template for size. Th8s is a replacement so I is meant to be a bigger hole than what you have. Sounds great in my Martin

The neck in my opinion is about the same as a standard guitar, maybe slightly smaller I have small hands also. It is very light so you need to use the strap to keep it balanced. I find the sound to be like a mandolin/guitar very nice but dont expect the sound of a dreadnought. I didnt like the Martin because it does not have a Truss rod to adjust the neck,so if got warped you are out of luck, plus it got some bad reviews.The fit and finish on the rover is very good for the price plus a really great case.l find myself player this little guy more often than my full size guitars it is great for sitting on the couch to practice.With the light gauge strings it has an electric guitar feel. Buy the way I installed an after market pickup called the Romp so no it is an acoustic/electric great fun , hope this helps........

I hope you hear from someone more of an authority on this matter than myself, but I believe that you might be right. I once owned a Martin 00-18 classical and the spacing might have been a bit wider, but then again, I feel that the nut might also have been a bit wider on the Martin. I certainly may be wrong. The Yamaha is a nice instrument and I look forward to playing with it more; the guitar is not my MAIN instrument. Keyboards are. Hope that someone else responds to your question. Good luck and best wishes!! William

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 Taylor light weight guitar. If your Martin guitar is not that heavy this may work for you.

I am not an expert and I bought it for my fiance who is also not an expert (amature guitar player) and he said it was a decent starter guitar. So I would say that it probably is a little less than full sized. My fiance still plays it and he says its fine, but I think a better guitar player would outgrow it.

Yes, it is small bore. It's a little larger than I normally play on (Olds 4 and 5, and Bach 12C), which is what I was after - It gives a smoother, darker tone, although I can't seem to get as much volume with it as I can with my smaller one. It may just be that the darker tone blends better for sectional playing and doesn't stand out quite so much, so is a bit more difficult to distinguish. It does take a bit more air than the smaller ones - that's normal. I'm more than satisfied with the tone, articulation, and response.

I haven't played both guitars, therefore I cannot offer an educated / comparative reply. I purchased the LX1 for my 4 year old grandson because I'm hoping that he shows some interest in learning how to play as he get's a bit older. From experience, I know that trying to learn on a cheap, horrible sounding instrument isn't much fun. I've owned Martin guitars for decades and believe in their quality - but quite frankly, my reasoning behind this purchase was based mostly on personal preference. Taylor crafts beautiful, high quality instruments and I have no doubt that their Baby Taylor exemplifies this.

Yes it has a very low action. I've played plenty of guitars, to include a full sized Martin, and the big baby has the lowest action and is the easiest to play

Martin.... I am sorry I can not answer this question. I bought this for my husband for Christmas last year. I know nothing about this product. I know my husband loves it... He hasn't had any problems with it.

It was shipped from Japan in a soft case- Martin brand. This is the finest "baby" model I have played-ever. Hard cases are abundant and will fit either the Taylor or Martin babies. If you travel and need to check the instrument with the airline, bus, etc. Then a hard case is a good investment. Otherwise, the Martin case is really a well padded gig bag with lots of storage.

neck is like a steel string guitar width, a little thicker actually. the action is great, a little tough to play a barre chord on the first fret especially for a kid, but its do-able. This little guy is the best. Mine gets used daily. BUY IT
