Ah, I think I got it..... it depends how humid it is!!! High humidity, the wood swells and you have bigger guitar!!!! :GRN> :GRN> :GRN>

I wonder if you really, really, humidify a guitar, can you turn an L into a Jumbo???????

I only checked depth, but my om is 3 9/16' at the neck and 4 1/4" at the other end.

3/4 " difference. Maybe what you are reading in specs is average or measurements made in different places. :UND>

.02 worth ???

Daysailer- good to see your post! how's that OM?

i keep meaning to stop in and check out the stock at Mckenzie... they have got some goods right now!
(see thread on other guitar makers)- just want to at least fondle a few- :wacko: -really though i will most likely end up w/ another Larrivee- that's why the question on specs.
