A Large 1-7/8″ Wide Nut Guitar can help cramped fingers

We build and modify guitars for all players but especially for players with extra large or extra small hands. For example our extra large fret boards for players range from 1-7/8″ wide at the nut to 2-1/8″ wide. For players with small hands we shave down necks. This guitar was modified with the addition of a 2″ wide neck.

We want to trade pertinent information about Telecasters which can be difficult to play as is. Players cannot find guitars with wider necks to help them play without any roadblocks to their success as Tele players.

Wide Guitar Necks 

Wide guitar necks are better for players with bigger hands or who want more Neck space in between each string. This is to facilitate fretting notes more cleanly.  A wider nut offers more separation between the strings at the head stock end of the neck. The width of necks, and their shape as well, will suit certain players more than others. Often, it’s a case of the size and shape you need, and also the kind of playing preferred.
