Haywire Custom Guitars Extra Wide Neck Electric Guitar

An electric guitar with an extra wide neck generally refers to a neck with a nut width (the width at the top of the neck near the headstock) of 1.68 inches (42.67 mm) or greaterThis width provides more space for fingers, which can be beneficial for players with larger hands or those who prefer a wider fret board for intricate playing styles. 

Factors to Consider:
  • Nut Width:

    Standard electric guitars typically have a nut width around 1.65 inches (42 mm) for Fender and 1.695 inches for Gibson. A wide neck would be noticeably wider than this

    • String Spacing:

      A wider neck allows for wider string spacing, which can be more comfortable for some players, especially those who play complex chords or use finger picking techniques. 

    • Intended Use:

      Guitars with wide necks are often favored by players who:

      • Have larger hands
      • Play genres like jazz or classical where wider spacing is beneficial 
      • Prefer a more spacious feel on the fret board.
      • In summary, an extra-wide neck electric guitar refers to instruments with a nut width of 1.68 inches or greater, offering a more spacious feel and potentially suiting players with larger hands or those who prefer wider string spacing for intricate playing styles.
