shimmy Posted December 19, 2005 Report Posted December 19, 2005 Hi, I have a friend who has small hands and has a hard time playing classical guitars. I was wondering if anybody new of a classical guitar with a nut width of 1 9/16 (40mm)...I dont think that they would make them in full size, but I was thinking more 3/4 size... Any info would be great Thanks alot Shimmy Quote
gplayer50 Posted December 19, 2005 Report Posted December 19, 2005 Shimmy, The narowest nut width that I have seen on a nylon string guitar is 1-3/4". This is on the Taylor models. Gplayer50 Quote
Maurits Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 This has quite a narrow nut (46mm). And it isn't too expensive either. Quote

Was this what you meant? http://www.ibanez.com/guitars/guitar.asp?model=AEF20CSNERLG I like this thing; kinda cheap-ish and quiet, but very comfortable. Quote
shimmy Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Posted January 1, 2006 yea jester that look nice....maurits..is that the one with the 46mm nutwidth? Quote
Maurits Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) No, I meant the GA5TCE, sorry about the link, I'm new to the linking thing For the price it's quite a nice little guitar. It got some good reviews on Harmony Central. Edited January 1, 2006 by Maurits Quote
marksound Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 Here ya go: Ovation USA Country Artist. Nut width: 1 7/8" Quote
Jester700 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 That looks nice, too. The GA5 has a flat fretboard, IIRC (like a classical). The AEF20 has a radius to it. Quote
shimmy Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Posted January 23, 2006 Hi, just revisiting this topic, First thanks for the replys. I still havent managed to find one yet. Moneys not really an issue, Im willing to spend up to 3000US or so. I just had a question though. I was thinking....what if I were to buy steel string accoustic such as a Cort Earth 900, Cort Earth 900, and possible replace the bridge and string it up with nylon strings... Has anyone had any experience with this? Any idea how it would be different in sound to a standard classical? Thanks alot, Eddie Quote
Daniel Sorbera Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 A steel string guitar is not ment to be setup with nylon strings. The steel strings put far more tension on the top than the nylons and if you put nylons on it it would be far to over built for it and not sound very good. IF your willing too spend $3000 USD Just get a custom guitar made. Quote
