What if you are going to buy new shoes or gloves and in the shop there are only one or two sizes…..
Or you need glasses but only in one or two dioptre…
I hear you thinking : are you nuts ?
Then why is it so difficult for buying , lets say a Fender strat with a wider nut width and better string spacing ?
you can buy a Fender player guitar with maple neck or rosewood or pallisander or even ebony neck . All possible .
you can buy the guitar even in 7 colors ….
Fender every time is trying to reinvent the guitar and they had huge selling during Covid 19 . Now selling is going down badly , so why not give it a try ,
and make possible to buy the same guitar in a different nut width / string spacing .
I started with a acoustic guitar with neck nut width 48 mm and string spacing 38,9 mm
Then I was lucky that I could see different Fender players , but I took the one with almost 43 mm nut width and 35,7 string spacing , the widest I could find . But stil fight for some chords .
This all started because there is a young boy here in my street , and you know , He would like to have his first guitar . But the parents just bought an old
house . With all these EU rules to make the house energy friendly , the parents have a huge investment to do …. So the boy ….Yes…
No problem , I bought him a simple Harley Benton ST 59 HM and guess what , I could hardly play on it …. The nut width is 42 mm , very standard but the nut was so badly cut , so string spacing is only 33 milimeters……
What do you think , more to come .
