The SD70-JR’s overall feels & handling experience
With its petite 36.3” (93cm) length, it is just slightly shorter than a standard 15th frets Parlor guitar, yet it offers full 15 frets neck joint feeling. The nut width = 1.6” (4cm), 60cm nut to saddle strings length is easier size for beginners to strum while leaving some impact as if a full sound from a full size guitar. The upper body thickness = 8.5 cm, lower body thickness = 9 cm, Upper bout = 26 cm, Lower bout = 34.5 cm are a petite size which leave comfortable grip on your lap.
In short, a convenient smaller size which makes big impact tones. It is a perfect companion trip for travelers.
