What makes folk guitars different from standard acoustic guitars?

Many guitar models in this category are referred to as parlour, concert (O), or grand concert (OO) guitars, and feature a smaller-sized body and often a shorter scale length (the length of the vibrating string between the bridge and nut). These models are popular among fingerstyle players and known for their clear, direct sound and powerful mid-range response. This category also includes so-called travel guitars, as well as instruments with an intentionally compact design for children, beginners, and players with small hands. Since small-sized and narrow guitars are particularly susceptible to acoustic feedback, Folk guitars with an integrated pickup system also enjoy a high level of popularity among live musicians.
