Well, maybe some aren't, but mine is pretty full-bodied. I just measured the body depth at the butt, and at the neck joint on my guitars (including a Takamine) and it looks like this:
Code:
neck butt
Epi 10.3cm 12.4cm
Taylor 9.3cm 11.2cm
Takamine 10cm 12.4cm
So, at least in my collection, the Epi is the biggest. Also, both the Takamine and Taylor are cutaways, but Epi is not. I know there are bigger flattops, but not many.

The guitar was less than three months old when I made the recording, and I hadn't been playing it much, so I would say not really. However, I am going to put new strings on both and redo this whole thing. Hopefully should be in the next week or two.

I did my best to use the exact same mic placement for both recordings. "Exact" as I could possibly be.
I definitely have to do some more mic placement experimentation. As it is, I did try a few experiments. I got radically different results by just moving the mics an inch one way or the other.
Thanks for listening.
