Whether you are interested in a Smith 6 or 5, I wouldn't let "body size" factor into that decision. The Smith 6 plays really nicely, so, really it's a matter of whether you need a 6 or a 5. Either way, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Hi the reason I ask.... I picked up a BSRJ 5 string (B-G)... Im most likely going to go for another 5 to string E-C with light strings or just maybe go for a 6. Im not sure at this point ... I am thinking more along the lines of going for a Burner this time.

Anyway I am around 5'6 the BSR 5 string size is great I have no issues at all with it (and I am sensitive to that kind of thing, not my height the size of the body ) it seems like the 6 stringers I see in photos are BIG. again I know its hard to tell from pics.....

anyway ...
