Hi Jacqui

I think you met the late Jacqui Walker's Hagstrom at my party. It is a BIG dreadnaught. There is no intrinsic reason a woman cannot play a big guitar - but I have to admit JacquiW was 5 foot 8 and most of her life a size 8.   Play what sounds right to you, and learn to live withthe sharp edges. I'm sure Suzi Quattro played a long scale bass -because she wanted to..
