Official Luthiers Forum!

I know this is probably a loaded Question , however here it goes . I am thinking about building an Acoustic/Electric Guitar and I am toying with a Body Thickness of approx 3-3/4" Is that to thin? What would be a good thickness to try .

The Widest Part Of The Body as seen Below will be 14-1/2"

Any Suggestions would be appreciated . This is my first effort on a guitar. Usally I do Mando's

Martin has a thinner one so I think you will be fine.
