Members tcatsdad Posted January 14, 2006 Members Share Posted January 14, 2006 A five string for a player with smaller hands? I've been playing J's and P's with the A neck, and every five I've tried is just too wide. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Darkstorm Posted January 15, 2006 Members Share Posted January 15, 2006 Warwick corvette fiver has comfy slim neck for a fiver too. Warwick fivers at least thumb & I think corvette, come in two versions. Wide neck (they do the neck dive thing), & regular neck (doesnt neck dive). When I compared corvette & thumb reg neck ones both necks seemed the same width & thickness etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members illidian Posted January 15, 2006 Members Share Posted January 15, 2006 Originally posted by T.

Oh, and you can't go wrong with the feel of Lakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted January 15, 2006 Members Share Posted January 15, 2006 I've heard that the Skylines are made by Cort. Cort's closest model is the Artisan B5. I've played both Corts and Laklands and you won't go wrong with either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tcatsdad Posted January 15, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 15, 2006 I'm ready to take the plunge, and having some information up front makes things easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very possible they both come out of the same factory in Korea...but they come out feeling very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted January 15, 2006 Members Share Posted January 15, 2006 Don't let small hands scare you away from wide necks. My hands are pretty small and my 5'er has a fairly wide neck, I get around just fine. You just have to get used to it, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
