Default 000cjr body dimensions?

Martin’s just introduced the 000CJR-10, and while there's lots of info on the website, the actual body dimensions aren’t mentioned. Has anyone measured one, ad if so, what are the dimensions?

Website: https://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/junior/000cjr-10e/

Thanks

I could not find the actual body dimensions listed. Since it is supposed to be slightly smaller, I will guess it will be 14" and something. Just a guess.

I wish Martin wouldn't mess around with their body sizes. It is starting to become meaningless to use their traditional body size designations.

I think their disrespect for conventions has hurt the industry as a whole. Anyone can call anything whatever they want to and no one knows what those letters and numbers mean unless you are into that particular builder.
000jr, really Martin? Unless its a 000 body size with a really short neck the numbers and letters are meaningless. If that is what it is then Im ok with it. That still doesnt resolve my gripe with them.

Whose disregard for conventions? Martin? They created the conventions.

thats exactly what I said. Their conventions have become the standard for communication and then they disregard it and the rest of the guitar world thinks if Martin can do it so can I. For myself I like the traditional conventions they established but for example Martin sells 000-14's but they are long scale and Eastman sells OM advertised guitars but they are short scale

Isn't a 14" 000 really just an 00? It has a24" scale.

Maury's Music has videos of all the new Martins including that 000Jr-10 with the cutaway. It sounds great! Am hoping to get some confirmation of all the specs as well to get a better idea of size.

I think the body is shorter than a canonical 14-fret 00, based on the shape. It looks like about a 90% scale OM, which would be roughly 00-14 width, but shorter - that’s why I’m looking for body dimensions.

I have one of these on order. Preordered from Sweetwater and should be getting the package later this week. I’ll try and post some dimensions when it comes in. I’ve also contacted Martin about the availability of a hard case.

Im thinking about buying one too. A hardshell case is almost 200 dollars that Martin wants. I will just look for a small hardshell case.

I love my original Dread Jr, and I will most definitely add the 000jr. I think that these sound a step above the GS Minis, although, I want another GS Mini as well!

I could see myself collecting these dadgum things...

This video will give you an idea of the size. They try a Little Martin, a Djr, and a 000jr;

It looks very nice, but I'll stay with my first series Djr.

I like the Martin case that came with my DC-Aura gt, but 180 is pretty high when other manufacturers are putting out quality cases at 120 bucks

I would not spend 1/3 the retail cost of the guitar on a case, that seems outrageous. And if you assume the standard Maury discount, you'd be spending close to half the value of the guitar for a case! Plus with how little and portable it is, why weigh it down with a case?? Gig bag all the way.
