Topic: Wider neck 6 strings
It's been a year since my other half kindly bought me a new 6 string when I said I wanted to start playing again after more than 20 years. I also have a nylon string classical which I have been playing more and more. (I learned on one originally back in the 70s)
I've developed well with both guitars, but find I'm using the classical for most of the finger picking, and the steel string for the strumming. I've always found steel strings, with the narrower neck, a bit cramped for my large fingers when it comes to picking.
I've decided to get another 6 string but with a wider neck and greater string spacing.
Now here's the problem. I've done a bit of Googling and found some possible contenders. I don't want to spend a lot.
My current 6 string is 1 and 13/16 inches (4.5cm) width at the neck. The classical is, of course, the standard 2"
Could any of you here tell me about your experiences with wider necks and any recommendations you may have.
I look forward to your replies.
