Q: 10. Is this guitar considered to be a 3/4 size?

A: The Ibanez PC15 is full-size guitar. The grand concert body style is considerably smaller than a traditional dreadnaught style acoustic, so the body itself is closer in size to a classical guitar, but the neck is the same scale as the neck on a full-size dreadnaught guitar. For comparison, the Ibanez AW54 Artwood Series model (B&H # IBAW54OPN) is an example of a full-size dreadnaught model.
