These guitars are representative of what I can do for you.

Here are my basic sizes for steel string guitars (table below).  You will note that my sizing system

is bascially the same as Martin's.  I feel this makes the sizing easier for people to understand.

The size of the guitar is not a factor in the cost (they all cost the same).
