Hey, didn't you ask this exact question before you bought this gorgeous VIP? I now have a VIP body sitting in its box and it is indeed a bit bigger than a PRS, but it's really not any bigger than a strat. I keep waffling back and forth between keeping it and selling it.
You should build a little musiclander next with just a bridge pup and a TOM, something small and cool.

Haha, just lower your strap and assume the "Rock Power Stance"

And don't even THINK of owning a Gretsch White Falcon or Gibson L5, those guitars are monsters! :laughing3:
So long as the neck profile is good for your hands and you can adjust the strap buttons so the body sits comfortably on you, what is the problem? :icon_scratch:
The fact it doesn't look good on you? Or is it too heavy and cumbersome on your shoulder? But how does it sound?
I think the VIP body is slightly larger than the PRS of the same style.
I was scrawny right up to the age of 26 or so, then I started developing my beer gut. I used to look thin behind the guitars, but now I better resemble someone like David Crosby nowadays! :sad: I used to hate looking so thin, sometimes I'd get mistaken for a thin woman and boy did that get me annoyed. So I have empathy with you about the way the guitar looks on you. But I'd persevere with the instrument if it plays well and sounds good.
I wouldn't worry about it. You're young, you might still fill out some. I know a guy who was in a play when he was 19 where he was playing a 14 year old. The play won a bunch of awards, and a year later they had to do the play again at a theater festival, but the guy didn't fit in the costumes anymore because he had filled out so much. He really didn't look believable as a 14 year old anymore. My fiance also used to be very thin, but he filled out a lot in his late teens and early 20s, and now he's a pretty big guy. Of course, I think the few years he worked in construction and demolition helped a lot.
Anyways, the if the guitar is pretty, they'll spend their time looking at that rather than how it compares to your body size. And if you're good at playing it, no one will care what you look like.
Besides, chicks dig skinny guys. Especially ones that are musicians.

the VIP is a little 'thicker' than a PRS, I measured this morning...
