Size of an electric guitar?

slipss · 2007-01-23 23:00:17

Ehm I bought an electric guitar there for my gf's brother for his birthday next week but it looks a bit small or something. Anyway I was wondering do electric guitars come in like child and adult sizes or are they all the same? And what size should a full size one be, lenghtwise. Thanks for the help.

Measure the lenght of the the part of the string that can vibrate (ie the long bit between the nut and the bridge). If its around 24.5 to 25.5 inches then its a normal adult sized guitar.
