The great master pin-up artist Alberto Vargas allegedly preferred to work with models of short and small stature, as he thought that their proportions looked more voluptuous, full, and balanced than those of bigger, taller women. I happen to feel the same way, not just when it comes to pin-up girls, but also guitars. My favorite guitars for playing fingerstyle, or anytime when I want full, balanced, and—yes—voluptuous tone, are small-body instruments with 12-fret necks.
