Since this discussion thread has the Fullerton "Greenwich" guitar as part of it's title, I'd like to call the attention of readers who own this guitar.
The Fullerton Greenwich was billed as an "auditorium" guitar with a solid spruce top, rosewood back and sides, and full genuine abalone trim (soundhole rosette and body border, snowflake fret markers), and gold-plated tuners. I have noted that the body is 4.25" at the end pin, a full 1/2" thicker than most 000/OM style guitars that I've seen, including my Blueridge BR-73 (very similar in body style and trim, except with a body 1/2" thinner). When I checked the dimensions of the Martin style jumbo, it has the same body dimensions as a 000 or OM, but with a dreadnought depth (4.75"). The rare Martin M-style (also called "0000") has a 000 body with a 4" thick body. So, the Greenwich is bigger than a 000 or 0000, but slightly thinner than a Martin-style jumbo. It's an excellent sounding instrument, and a steal when it sold at the clearance price of $100.
