Hi everyone!

I'm a fairly small guy, about 5'6 (166 cm), looking for a decent entry level jazz guitar. The question is, can I manage a 17" box (I got my eyes caught on a Epiphone Emperor Regent)? It's not very easy for me to try one (before buying) where I live, hence the quest for some piece of advice...

Thanks

I'm a small guy myself, I won't buy anything that has a bout bigger than 16
inches. My main guitar is a Gibson ES 140 3/4 size, look for one of those you will love it. Very expensive and very vintage, mines a 1953, but the perfect size for us. peace out...

If you love the guitar and it feels right when you play then go for it ! Out of all the entry level jazz guitars the Emperor Regent to me is the most elegant and stylish of them all. They have one in my local music shop and just cant get over how good it looks. I just love the headstock with its gorgeous inlay pattern. That guitar is a work of art. When I played it, it felt great in the shop. The harmony-central.com website reviewers have a lot of very good things to say about its tone and build quality.
