So....
I've been thinking about a smaller bodied guitar. Not sure I'm going to make the move, but have been gathering information.
The recent thread about the F-47R on reverb made me wonder about guitar body sizes. I had been focusing on F-30's, and had not considered F-40 size guitars.
Here's my very specific issue - I'm considering this because my D64 is getting to be a bit uncomfortable on my right shoulder. I have seen other posts and I know this is not that uncommon among LTGers - I'm getting old, and a broken right collarbone about 15 years ago doesn't help either.
I have posted before about my quest for an electric guitar after multiple surgeries and ending up with my PRS Hollowbody for it's lightness and comfort (among other things - it is the end of that quest!).
So I'm debating if I need another quest for a smaller bodied acoustic. I want to be able to play guitar! For several hours at a time if I want - not asking much!
So - thoughts on body size? I can tell the dread is "lifting" my right shoulder up. I've played around with positioning, etc, but I really think a smaller body might help. No issues with the PRS, but of course that body size is quite a bit smaller.
One thing I know I can get on LTG - your opinions!
