Harry-I too need a guitar 2" over standard-the Millenium guitar that I was borrowed for me to evaluate was also 2" over and I was able to play it quite comfortably-Reece says there is no additional charge for a taller set up from the factory  |

Actually Harry, the front and rear aprons are much less than that! I measured them at about .170", a little less than 3/16". Other than the endplates and nameplate, though, nothing is affixed to them. All the crossrods are mounted via heavy bronze bushings to an aluminum carriage that is screwed to the underside of the body (which is far more substantial). |

Donny,
Yeah, I figured that it had to be something like that.

Mine is about 3 inches thicker than my pants. |

| Difficult to be precise on the thickness of the body, Bobby, due to the thick flannel-like "covering" on the bottom of the body. I'd say it's about 1 1/8" on the C6th side, and about 1 3/8" on the E9th side (the bottom side is not "stepped", as it is on some guitars). |

Are you including the neck in that measurement, Donny? (Earnest?  ) |

| No, Bobby, the necks are machined aluminum billets, and are not included in my measurements. (Only a guitar like the old Fenders would have necks that are actually a part of the body.) |
