Wider string spacing

Recommended Posts

It depends what you're comparing against, I suppose. For example, a Fender will generally have wider spacing than a Gibson. I have both Fender guitars (Tele Custom and a Showmaster) and Gibson L.P. style guitars (ESP Eclipses), and the wider spacing and longer scale on the Fenders despite being quite small on paper is actually quite noticeable.

I think some of the Ibanez thin neck shredder style guitars are a bit wider even than a Fender. Might be worth looking at some of their "nicer" models, they do a big range. Plenty of choice second hand if you know what you're looking for, and the website has specs including all the dimensions.

Also, if you fancy something slightly different, try one of these: http://www.ibanez.com/products/eg_detail18.php?year=2018&area_id=3&cat_id=1&series_id=1&data_id=337&color=CL01

Longer scale and wider neck, and the EMG pickups are pretty flexible, so it's actually pretty good for lots of styles. You can pick them up for £200 - 300, I think mine was £260 IIRC, in mint nick.
