Default Looking for Specs on Martin Jr 10

I am interested in the new Martin JR 10 Dread or 000 guitars and want to get an idea of the size of it. Martin has limited measurements on their website and my local guitar stores do not have them in stock. I would like to get an ideas of the measurements:

Overall Length
Body Length
Upper Bout Width and Thickness
Lower Bout Width and Thickness
Thickness at First Fret

Any help would be helpful.

My DJRe measures 13/16 inch thick at the first fret, not including the fret wire.

Over all length 37 inches
Body length 18 1/4 inch
Upper bout 3 1/2 thick 10 1/2 wide
Lower bout 4 1/2 thick 14 1/4 wide

Measured values not factory numbers. YMMV

Keep in mind that the dread Jr and dread Jr 10 are different guitars. Martin changed the model last year to make it thinner (OM depth). I've seen ads with misrepresented information. Please double check before you buy. I would be upset if I bought one and got the other.

To that point, if you look closely, they don't look like each other, so it's pretty easy to spot. The newer ones have a huge mother of toilet seat rosette.

Default Thanks

Thanks for the info. Gives me an idea of how much smaller is than what I am playing now.

I have not seen either the old or new models.

If you want the Martin dreadnought bass sound the Jr has been the way to go for me.
