Stratman68
Axe-Master
Hey,
Well I have posted many times about my arthritis and carpal tunnel issues.
So now I am looking for a "quality" acoustic\electric with the following specs-I haven't found any in my searches. For me, "quality" means either made in USA or Japan and $1,500+
Actually even just acoustic with these specs would be OK. I can always add the pickup system myself, like LR Baggs Anthem, etc
So, Scale length: 24.75" or even less, but above 24". Here is whats killing it. Nut width 1 11\16".
I do have a brand new seagull studio artist deluxe that I cannot return. It is an amazing build but the nut width kills me 1 7/8"
I can find one or the other but not a combo. This fits my playing and impairments.
With my Strats I have no issues, but probably will get a LP studio soon for the shrter scale.
I have checked by email with Laravee, Breedlove and Seagull (Canada) No luck
Martin has one but it's $6,000...out of my range for sure. Gibson is the closest. They have the scale 24.75 but not the nut width. They also are $2, 500 J-45. Any cheaper and you get the richlite fingerboard...which I do not like.
Sorry for the long post
Thanks for any tips on where\what to look for
