leeneia2 Folk Size vs. Dreadnought Size Guitars? (28) RE: Folk Size vs. Dreadnought Size Guitars? 19 Aug 10


Here's what i would do. Have somebody play it, if you can't play yet.

1. Listen to the sound. Do you like it? Does it play the scale right as you go up the neck?

2. Think about the neck. If you have thick fingers, are the strings too close together? If you have small hands, is the neck too wide? Is it too thick?

3. Are the strings too high in the air? This can probably be corrected.

4. Does it buzz sometime? This can probably be corrected.

5. How are you going to hold it? Now is the time to get the strap that will keep it from straining your neck, shoulders, etc. Get knowledgeable advice here. Don't hold it any old way.

Good luck. If you make a good decision, you will have many hours of pleasure to come.
