Choosing the Most Suitable Acoustic Guitar Size

Choosing an acoustic guitar size and shape that suits you well is key to enjoying your playing experience. Whether you're just starting out or refining your style, the shape and size of your guitar can directly affect how it feels, sounds, and responds to your touch.

For players who prefer a compact, comfortable instrument—especially for fingerpicking or travel. Faith Mercury (Parlour-sized) guitars are an excellent choice. With their smaller body and shorter scale length, they offer a focused, articulate tone and are easy to hold for long practice or performance sessions.

If you're after something slightly larger but still balanced and versatile, the Faith Venus (Auditorium) and Neptune Cutaway and Neptune (Baby Jumbo) shapes are ideal. They suit a range of styles and provide great clarity, making them popular among fingerstyle and light strummers alike.

For players seeking bold volume and a full, resonant tone—great for strumming and vocal accompaniment— Faith Saturn (Dreadnought) and Faith Mars (Drop Shoulder Dreadnought) shapes deliver a rich, powerful sound with strong low-end response.

No matter your size, playing style, or experience level, there’s a Faith guitar to match. Explore our hand-crafted range and find the shape that feels—and sounds—just right for you.
