porterpr Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi can anyone tell me if the 5 string is the same ratio spacing as the 4 string or are the 5 stringers narrower than the 4 stringers by ratio .......taa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstrike Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 4's have 19mm string spacing, and 5's have 17.5mm string spacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vibrating G String Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1318369304' post='1401379'] Olp 5's are even tighter too. [/quote]True, though the neck on my OLP is slightly wider at the fat end than my MM (about 30 thousandths of an inch) so I swapped bridges to get the spacing to 17.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far0n Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Just measured my OLP Tony Levin signature... 64mm from middle of B string to middle of G string (I'm assuming to measure from the centre of strings) . That makes it 16mm spacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
