I have one more that I built, similar to a Martin J-40, a jumbo body as opposed to a dreadnaught, but otherwise similar to the two above.
I don't know enough about acoustics. Really- I was up in the air whether to get a short scale/ 1.5" nut bass or a good acoustic. I remember playing an old Guild that was my embodiment of what an acoustic should sound like- I don't remember if it was a jumbo or dreadnought... One of the guitar players in my band owns a store- he was steering me towards a Martin D-28, but they didn't have any in... I ended up spending the rest of the discretionary funding on bike stuff!
