I'm currently looking at dreadnought acoustic electric cutaways with solid Spruce tops. Haven't looked at jumbos... I'm coming from an Ibanez Aeg10ebk which is a thinline guitar and doesn't have the best sound, though it's a super easy guitar to play because of the thin neck and almost electric guitar type of playability. So, I went to guitar center and found that I liked the yamaha A1m for sound and playability (it's around $560 though I can find used around $300). Thoughts on the takamine? Dreadnought vs. Jumbo?

I would only get a thin body type acoustic if I absolutely fell in love with it. As far as dreadnought versus jumbo, a lot of it depends on your body size and playing preferences. I personally find dreadnoughts uncomfortable to play due to the thickness of the body and the rather wider waist that causes the guitar to sit higher on my leg if playing seated.

A jumbo with a narrow waist, or a grand auditorium like the typical Taylor models, can have dimensions similar to a dreadnought, but the narrower waist makes all the difference.

That said, the dreadnought has to be the most popular acoustic guitar body shape.

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to go sit and play a jumbo. I didn't notice any at Guitar center, though I was primarily looking at cutaways and they were all dreadnoughts. I want good sound, but playability is even more important and I assumed a jumbo would be too big of a leap coming from a thinline.
