Got many guitars but this is my first Baton Rouge. Chose budget to see what they were like and was not dissapointed. As an 81 year old with big hands that does a bit of finger picking the old 43mm was getting a bit tight. 46mm solved the problem and the neck feels great. You can tell it's a bit wider but still a joy to play, and surprisingly easy to get used to. The guitar looks good, feels good, is well built and light weight. Great value for money.
