A video lesson on short scale guitars, string length, and smaller body guitars (sometimes called parlor guitars). See the full article here: https://www.thisisclassicalguitar.com... • Bradford's small scale guitar from the video: Check out my article and video on my new small scale (and body) Douglass Scott guitar: https://www.thisisclassicalguitar.com... • What is small scale? When talking about scale length we are referring to the string length from the saddle to the nut (650mm is standard). Don't confuse scale length with a smaller bodied guitar necessarily. Just because the scale length is smaller doesn't mean the luthier has built a significantly smaller instrument (although that is sometimes the case as with mine). • What is standard and are guitars getting smaller? Fifteen years ago I remember seeing 660mm guitars around but now I'd be hard pressed to even see one. The standard today has been 650mm for a number of years. However, I've started noticing, especially in the past five years an explosion of smaller scale guitars 640mm and less. Overall, I think this is a very good thing in terms of variety and making a connection between the guitar and people's body type. People should be comfortable playing the instrument and not forced into a situation where they are struggling with the size of the instrument. • SUPPORT: https://www.thisisclassicalguitar.com... • WEBSITE BLOG: https://www.thisisclassicalguitar.com • LESSONS: https://www.thisisclassicalguitar.com... • FREE SHEET MUSIC: https://wernerguitareditions.com/page... • GEAR, STRINGS, GUITARS: https://www.thisisclassicalguitar.com... • Thanks for watching!
