captainhaddock Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 HI Could any of you 6 string Warwick owners out there help me? I`m trying to find out the string to string and overall string spacing on a standard width(52mm) JAN111 Cheers! Quote
mart Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Well, the individual centre-to-centre string distance will be slightly under 9mm, won't it? (That being 52 divided by 5 and rounded). Quote

mart Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Whoops! It's been a long day .... Yes, of course, you're right, so my explanation wasn't as sensible as I'd have liked ... But I still think my answer is right: 10mm centre-to-centre spacing would leave just 1mm from the centre of the B string to the edge and 1mm from the C to the edge, which is clearly not feasible (especially since the B string will be about 3mm wide). With 9mm spacing, that leaves just 3.5mm on each side, which sounds about right, or maybe a bit tight, which was why I reckoned it would be a shade under 9mm. Edited February 2, 2011 by mart Quote

Cheers thanks for you thoughts it gives me something else to think about Quote
