See title. I have the nagging suspicion that my guitar is junior size or something.
Answer
What you're asking about is the SCALE of the instrument. I just copied this from Wikipedia; look at the page, because some models of different instruments run on smaller or larger scales. My bass is a shortscale, so it's 30" as opposed to the standard 34"; I also have another bass that's 24" scale --- way small!
Most Fender electric guitars, including the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Esquire, and Jazzmaster use a scale length of 25.5 in (65 cm). A few Fender models such as the Jaguar use a scale length of 24 in (61 cm). Fender has also built some 3/4-size student guitars with a scale length of 22.5 in (57 cm) or shorter.
Gibson uses a scale length of 24.75 in (63 cm) on many of its electric guitars, including the Les Paul, Flying V, Explorer, SG, and ES-335. Gibson has used other scale lengths on various models through the years.
