I've been following these sneak peaks. Actually they're much more than sneak peaks. Last year they posted a few partial pictures in the couple of weeks before the Jan NAMM show. It's great that they're showing MUCH more this time! Of course, once the new models are introduced in January, how long will it take before you'll actually SEE one???

AT least, this time, I have no expectations. The CH's were a huge disappointment when they finally appeared at dealer.

Why? While I've never seen or played one, I like the shape.

You know, if Godin was smart, they'd tweak the MJs by reducing the lower bout width by just enough so that it would fit in a normal dreadnaught case and bring them back in all the series. Then, they'd have a slightly bigger Grand Auditorium sized guitar; which would sell well in my humble opinion cuz it's one of, if not thee best selling body shapes for Taylor. It wouldn't be exactly the same size, but close enough that I think it would sell like hot dogs.

Of course, as always, this is just my opinion and what *I* would do if I ran Godin.
Which I don't.
Which is kind of a bummer.
Cuz I'd get free guitars if I did.

But I digress.

Personally, I'd like a inch wider. After all, as it is, it is exactly the same lower bout width as my Martin PA (GPCPA5K).

ALso, if I ran Godin, everyone in this forum with more than 1000 posts would get a custom version of any current or discontinued model.

I never had a problem fitting my MJ into a dread case. I thought the size was good the way it was, but they seem to be throwing their eggs into the Concert Hall basket.

Really?

I've been able to fit them in soft shell dread cases, but what hard shell cases have you fit an MJ in? I've never found a hardshell case that the MJ would fit in due to that lower bout width being juuuuust a bit too wide.

I got one of these a couple of years ago. Lower bout is 16.5", and MJ is 16.0" --- just enough room!
