Thread Name: Thin-neck guitars -- recommendations?
Subject: RE: Thin-neck guitars -- recommendations?
I once tried, in a shop, a Rickenbacker dreadnought acoustic. It sounded lovely but the neck was very thin with a very close string pitch at the nut. You couldn't put anything too thick at the bass end. The shop guy said they had put 011 set on as anything thicker might buzz if you were excitable when playing.
Too close a pitch for me, but they are known for thin necks in the electric world, bonding two timbers and good adjustable neck bracing.
