Classical Guitar Cases: Sizing for Nylon-String Guitars

Classical guitars have wider bodies, shorter scale and a thinner waist than steel-string acoustics. Their cases are shaped differently.

Sizing basics

Standard classical (4/4) runs ~39 in total length. 3/4 and 1/2 sizes exist for students — cases must match the fractional size.

Body shape

Classical bodies are deeper with a wider lower bout. A steel-string case may press on the waist or not close on the depth.

Case options

  • Hard case: wood or ABS, standard for travel.
  • Fiberglass: light and strong, premium.
  • Gig bag: padded, for local use.
