I've seen this statement several times and it just doesn't seem to be the case with my guitars. I've run these measurements on the forum a couple of times before but I'll do it again. Measurements taken with digital Vernier calipers - top of the string to back of the neck.
Taylor 355 - 1st fret; 23.11 mm 9th fret; 25.19 mm
Martin G J12-40E S - 1st fret; 23.28 mm 9th fret; 26.69 mm
Guild F-412 - 1st fret; 24.82 mm 9th fret; 28.12 mm
Morris B-50 - 1st fret; 27.17 mm 9th fret; 30.35 mm
So you can see my Martin is very close to the Taylor and my Japanese Morris 12-string is much thicker than all of them!
