Guitar sizes
Is there a chart somewhere comparing guitar sizes?
I thought my Orpheum was the same size as my Taylor 414, just a little deeper. But I started measuring last night and the Taylor is wider in upper and lower bout, although a 1/4 in shallower. How close is a grand auditorium to a 000? Do dreadnoughts vary from one maker to the next? It would be nice to see some sort of master chart, to help compare guitars and makers.

Martin established the standard sizes but there are some variations on that. For example a Taylor is 000 size but a little different. I guess Bob wouldnt want us to think he was copying Martin. And many builders use Martin sizes but change the contours some or use the Martin sizes and call it something else like Springy etc.
