Dragyn Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Should have done this first me thinks. Hey all, Dragyn here. Been a hobby woodworker for over 20 years and with my daughter and I both getting into playing guitars and not having much luck finding a guitar to fit my fat fingers I started looking into building my own. HAve been through most of the posts here and hope to learn a bit more. I may not play good, but the aspect of building and refinishing guitars has snagged the hobbiest in me so hope to have some pics of a current project up soon. See you in the rest of the forum.

truerussian558 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 hello as for finding a guitar for big fingers you could try a nylon string classical guitar as the neck (and so is the string spread) is much wider then an electric or a steel string, plus theyre easier on your fingers.

JohnnyG Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Welcome i know what you mean about chubby fingers lol. ive got the epitome of engineers fingers (picked it up from my grandad) and i found it a bit tricky to play some of the chords. after a pit of practise its usually ok but to make things easier for me when i was learning i got a nylon string with a wide neck.

Jehle Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I totally relate to the "build it to fit" mentality. Welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment
