mike ivison replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"Thanks!"
FloridaGull replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"I'm wondering which Walden you are talking about - the O model (Orchestra Model)? If so, the O550 (solid spruce top, lam sapele back and sides) has a 1 11/16" nut width - but a 25.5 inch scale. The higher-series O model - the…"
Bob Edwards replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"Mike I -
For different (significantly so) reasons than yours, I have played both the Baby Taylor and their GS Mini. Of the two, the GS Mini has by far the most "real guitar" sound, to my ear. Neither was suitable for me, since…"
FloridaGull replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"Ok - if you consider a slope shoulder guitar to be approximately a dreadnought, Recording King makes 3 slope-shoulder models with a 24.75" scale, and a 1 11/16" nut:
The RAJ-16, -26, and -27 - here are…"
mike ivison replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"i'm looking for a shorter neck because my hands are small. i don't want it for traveling. i have played the taylor mini gs and they sound good to me. i was just curious if someone made a short neck dreadnought size. just asking ,…"
Bob Edwards replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"Mike -- I'm intrigued. Next time I go "out of state" ( 5 miles west of my home), I will look in on the listed V-A dealer in Spokane Valley, WA. A dedicated "travel guitar" is several slots down on my "gotta…"
Craig MC replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"When you say "full body" I presume you mean a dreadnought, but you should definitely look at the Godin-family folk size. I have the Simon & Patrick Woodland Pro folk and it is a full sounding guitar. That said, it won't…"
Mike Nepper replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"I'll put in yet another plug for the Voyage-Air. The thing is a player, that's all. I mean, you can spend a lot of money on the holy grail small body custom that does what you want, but do you really want to travel with it? Unless you are…"
Bob Edwards replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"Mike --
Can you tell us why you're wanting a neck that short? There are quite a few "parlor size" guitars with necks shorter than 25", and both Seagull and Walden have some nice, full-sounding instruments with necks in that…"
FloridaGull replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"Do our friends at Guitar Works have anything interesting?"
mike ivison replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"@ Greg Brandt / Maker of Guitars
what is the price ranges of your guitars?"
mike ivison replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"thanks for all the input. i've been working thats why i haven't got back with you."
Greg Brandt / Maker of Guitars replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"Well.....I build very small (17" scale) travel / alto guitars. Though small....they don't sound "small" at all. I do them in steel and nylon string versions. If you're curious....send me an email at…"
Mike Nepper replied to mike ivison's discussion full body / short neck in the group Small Body Guitars"The Voyage Air guitars are my personal choice in a travel guitar - my VAOM-06 is VERY full sounding. But, it is a full size guitar with a standard scale length neck. I too prefer short scale guitars, but I find the tone disappointing in the…"
