Topic: Where can I find my special guitar

Hi all .  Andy from Scotland .   Can anyone help me here ?   I have been playing for a while , though still not very good , but I have been trying for years to find an accoustic guitar that has the shape of a classical, is just as light , has the same width of fingerboard , ( with cut-away also ) but is not a classical , but is a folk style guitar with steel strings .   The problem is that I have always owned classics and my fingers naturally fall into the wider shape of the classic fingerboard , therefore when I try a normal accoustic steel string guitar, I find it impossibe, as there is no room on the fret .  I can't afford to have one made, but I'd love a store bought one from maybe Yamaha or someone , but I don't think such a guitar exists on the entire planet .  Can anyone help ??     Cheers

Re: Where can I find my special guitar

You can try to look into Norman guitars. I don't know about the fingerboard width yet the body is based on the classical style. http://www.normanguitars.com/modelb20folk.htm

They are made here in Canada yet they do have dealers in Europe. http://www.normanguitars.com/distributors.htm Hope this helps!

I've been playing a Norman for 15 years and they are truly great guitars.

I may be goin' to hell in a bucket babe

Re: Where can I find my special guitar

I recently bought a new guitar which had a slightly narrower neck than what I was used to. Didn't take long at all til the old fingers learned to compensate.

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??
