Shockwave Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hello all Currently I have a telecaster copy which has a very wide neck with wide spacing. I also have a Silvertone Paul stanley signature model. (Les paul alike) which has a much thinner neck and shorter scale. The neck is far too narrow to be comfortable for me (bass players sausage hands) So I am looking to offload the Silvertone and purchase a set neck humbucker equipped guitar second hand that is a suitable width. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I could be wrong but the Gibson 2015 models all had, I think, wider necks? You could look at the blow out sales for a lower model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 [color=#34495E][font=Lato, sans-serif]Well the entire Telecaster nut is 42/43mm. The Silvertones is more like 40/41mm. Thought the tele was wider! However it does help with the range of guitars I could use![/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I saw an ad for an electric guitar the other day that had classical guitar neck width & string spacing. Can't remember what it was though. Sorry, that's not much help, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 How about a Vintage VS6? It's an SG copy (set neck), and nowadays they come with Wilkinson humbuckers which are very good for the money. Just popped a ruler against the nut on mine and it looks to be about 43mm.
