shimmy Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gplayer50 Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurits Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 This has quite a narrow nut (46mm). And it isn't too expensive either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Maurits Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Here ya go: Ovation USA Country Artist. Nut width: 1 7/8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester700 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimmy Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
