WHAT?? you mean we are not in the 70's any more....!!??

Gibbon, Marmoset...great way to describe hands..

my martin serves me well and has done so for 30 years
and that suits me fine. (it is an unusual style..D-35-S
with 12 fret fingerboard and slot style tuning pegs
and a 3 piece back)

It has a super wide neck, so it difficult to barre chords,
and requires a capo made for a 12 string, the action is
just right, the bass is bassy, and it is easy to strum,
pick or finger pick, and it also has a pick-up so I can
be amplified... so i guess that about covers it..

the pick up i recommend is one once called a mini-flex.
made locally. i think it was sold to another brand..
GHS strings.

good luck and let us know what you decide on. Laurel
