Shallow depth Dreadnought options
Hi all,
I know about the Martin D-16E that is a OOO depth, as well as the Eric Church Hummingbird from a couple of years ago... short of custom ordering, are there any more production dreadnaught-sizish guitars any of you here know of? Thanks so much.

David Webber and John Mcquarrie (Northwood) both made more shallow dreadnoughts. David is no longer building though. The Taylor DN series were also a bit more shallow than "standard" if I'm remembering correctly.

Big Baby Taylor is shallower, if you are not hung up on the lower end of the range.

My Santa Cruz D12 is 3.325" at neck and 4.325" at heel depths and is very comfortable as dreads go. Not sure if that is standard specs or not.

You may wish to look at a Martin 0000/M sized guitar. A different body shape than the dreadnought, but up there in size as far as production models go. And without the dreadnought's depth.

3 7/8" body depth.... for comparison the body depth of the Martin 0000/M suggested above is 4 1/8" ... a Martin dreadnought is 4 7/8" deep.

All Taylor dreadnoughts are 4 5/8" which is shallower than standard Martin and Gibson.
Gibson has the new J-45 Avant Garde which is a 4" depth J-45 with walnut back/sides. You could also look into deep body 00 or 000 guitars. Also Martin GPC size body is 4 1/2" so maybe that gets you mostly there... |
