Most acoustics are fairly close in size, but there are a few different varieties!.
A dreadnought is the largest!. an average acoustic is probably not quite as large but not by all that much!.
these dimensions are for A martin guitar and I averaged them a bit!.
The total length I recall from answering another guy's question about the same thing!.

The Body length is around 20 inches long
The width near the neck is about 11-12 inches ans the bottom is about 15 inches!.
They are 4-5 inches thick!.
Total length is about 41 inches!.

If you are concerned that a full size would be to big, you can also get them 7/8 scale and 3/4 scale!. Not quite as big, but they play and sound the same!.
3/4 guitars are good for young beginners or people with small hands!.
