A ladder braced 3/4 size for Joe

Yes - it looks larger because the body is so small.

The whole body is only 17 1/2" long...

It's a 3 1/2" sound hole...



This is the original junk guitar's body laid inside a J-45 body..



Heres a size reference of this body size next to a J-45 body.

Here's the guitar being played at our regional Teen Talent competition. The new owner Jacob came in first in his age bracket for instrumental. He is one talented kid.

Very cool, John! Jacob did a nice job of not rushing the tempo - and hitting his notes!
