    Acoustic terminology

    Hi guyz,
    I'm pretty quiet on the acoustic side of GC but I'm pretty sure there's plenty of acoustic gurus around here!

    I'm wondering what are the differents name of acoustic guitar body shape. I know some like jumbo but I'm a little bit confusing.

    Do you have any link with pics of all of them?
    Would be really nice!

    Thanks a lot!
    But heh, I'm big in Japan!

    Hi Ti-Ron, here are a couple of sites that will explain the different body sizes.

    Thanks for the link Brian!
    Is less 0 means smaller body?
    Like 00-14 is smaller than a 000-28?
    But heh, I'm big in Japan!
