Thin Body vs. Full Body Acoustic
Im about to get an acoustic guitar....now I'm looking at the Epiphone Pr5-e (which is a thin body) or a Epiphone Dove (which is a full body).....now I'm looking for an acoustic that doesn't have a deep acoustic sound....and that sounds more like a cleaner electric....so which would fit that description better?

thin body acoustic...

but given what you're looking for, why not go for a jazz box?

I can't make up my mind either way, so I am figuring on getting one of each!

My brother has an Epi pr-5 and has been very pleased with it. If you're going for a little less depth in your "unplugged" sound and you're playing plugged in most of the time, they're nice guitars for the money.

go thin..
im assuming its acoustic electric
if it is then make sure to plug it into an amp and try it out...
i used this really thin acoustic and it sounded pretty deep like a full body acoustic almost..

good luck
