wcap,

I have a more-or-less L-00 style steel-string guitar. It happens to be almost exactly the dimensions of my classical guitar except for a little more taper in depth from heel to endpin and of course that distinctive L-style small upper bout. It is one of the more classical-guitar-like steel-strings I've played in regards to tonal balance. Still nowhere near the warmth and timbre of nylon strings of course but definitely tending in that direction, although actually quite lacking in the bottom octave compared to my particular classical.

It has the advantage of being way more comfy (to me) than dreds and jumbos although both of those body styles excel in that bottom octave where mine falls off a bit.
