Which guitar size suits me?

The scale length indicates the size of a guitar - or more precisely, the length of the vibrating string between the nut and bridge. The standard scale length is 650 mm and corresponds to a 4/4 guitar. All other sizes are therefore smaller and and are therefore recommended for children and young people.
