Answer 1

Never buy guitars online! Every guitar is different. You always want to demo the guitar before you buy it. Talk to you local music shop guitar professional for the right guitar for you.

Answer 2

no, you'll be fine, just have to figure out how to balance it

Answer 3

Its a dreadnaught size body, which is pretty big as acoustic guitars go.  I have a Guild dreadnaught which is probably about the same size.  I'm about 5'2" and I can wrap my arm around the body and play it OK -- and I've had this guitar for 31 years and love it -- but, to tell you the truth, if I were to buy another guitar today, I'd get a smaller bodied one, one that would be more comfortable to hold and play.

Go to the music store and try out a dreadnaught size guitar and see for yourself, but you may very well find that a smaller guitar will be more comfortable for you.

Hey Writer

That guitar is good and you should also check a company called Luna.

They make beautiful guitars, colored, smaller in scale and the sound is extremely pleasing. We tested them at our guitar shop because a school needs to order 50 of them.

all-in-all, its a good deal , inexpensive and very original looking guitar.
