Guitar Shapes Dreadnought

what is the difference between a mini jumbo and a dreadnought?

looking to buy a new guitar and just want to know the body shapes, which is bigger, sound, etc.
also, might be stupid, but is the body size of the mini jumbo smaller than a jumbo?

The mini jumbo has a thinner waist than the dreadnought. In general this gives the guitar a different sound although there are lots of other determining factors, such as the woods used for top, back, and sides, the construction method, and more. Dreads tend to be bass-heavy and the mini jumbo more balanced tonally.

Yes, the mini jumbo is smaller than a jumbo. More like 16″ at the lower bout as opposed to 17″ for the jumbo.
