Ah - just curious! That narrow neck with even narrower string spacing is typical of old Yamahas too.

It's actually exactly the same overall width as my most-used electric (a Melody Maker Special) but even narrower string spacing (the MM is about 36mm).  Not that I've ever noticed the difference until this thread inspired me start measuring them. If anything the acoustic is a little bit LESS than 35mm e to E.
