What are the dimensions of a J 185?

The J-185’s body is 201/4″ long, 16″ wide at its lower bout, and 47/8″ deep at its end pin. Its shape is identical to the J-200, but its dimensions are slightly smaller. The top is solid spruce triple-bound with white/black/white plastic strips, while the back and sides are maple.
