Question on guitar

Unread post by ofhswrestler112 » Mon Sep 20, 2004 10:50 am

After playing with a bunch of different guitars, do they make ones with smaller fret sizes and i dont mean like a kids guitar but im having trouble with stretches in songs where my fingers wont reach because they are too small? Any help would be awesome

just keep practicing and working on your stretches...if you haven't been playing more than a year or two, you're probably still training your fingers to stretch...so just keep practicing...if anything, capo up on your guitar so you can use those smaller frets to practice these stretches, then move on down
B+P by offer only...thank you

I think the fretboard is exactly the same for all guitars, as far as width between the frets is concerned. It's all part of the mathematics of string tension.

True. Changing the distance between frets would screw everything up. Just keep practicing.

I know they can change the width of the neck for people with small hands but i doubt they can change the length between frets. Either way its too expensive especailly for a beginner. Think 1000 or more for a custom guitar. But i dont think they can change the lenth between frets.
