There used to be classic guitars, dreadnaughts, jumbos, and Ovations ... but now there are so many different shapes and sizes floatimg around 000, orchestra, 0M ... I have no idea what they mean. But for reference, how are the usual common Ovations categozied into this size and shape group?

Kinda like an "OO", or "M" a Grand Auditorium body.

I just measured... The lower bout on an Elite and a Balladeer is near 15.75".
The upper bout is 11.5" with about 10.4" waist.

But Ovation bodies are in a class by themselves.
On eBay people will often call them Dreadnaught bodies, but that is wrong.
That is just the only "choice" that people can pick outta that menu.
There are no choices like "Jumbo" or "Grand Concert" on the eBay selling page.
