If I read this Link correctly it looks like plant 1514 was only a small one, seems like Pennsylvania had at one stage a massive cigar industry - go figure I've learnt something else today.

9x6x4 is actually a great size for a guitar, little more length would be nice but it's very doable just do more frets (24!) clear of the box
