Cecil;

Good question; I don't know. What I shot for in the 7 electric was 2". I had hoped for the same with the 10 build, but Alistair recommended, and got, more. I'm not sure what I think about the extra width and will report back when the guitar arrives.

I suspect that what Alistair is calling a "slim body" is a hybrid size, something between my preferred 2" electric and a full 4-5" acoustic width. Indeed, this is an all-around hybrid instrument: a nylon string with a cut-a-way, with a nut width between the common standards for nylon and steel widths, with electronics, and with a blending of traditional wood and carbon fiber.

This could be the ONE guitar I've been searching for. If it's not, the 7 might do the job. I can play the 7 acoustically and be heard. I can play the 7 plugged in and be heard in the next county. I had hoped the 10 would give me a bit more bout and I'm also getting a bit more width. Should be a killer guitar. Fun exploration.
