Well, my old £50 Stagg acoustic is going to be retired (although I may keep it in some dangerous form of alternate tuning)...

What to do... I think I've decided on getting a mid-range Tanglewood Acoustic-Electric - The Sundance Historic is based on the early 30s/40s style and I liked the sound of it because it has a 44.5mm neck width as most others have a standard 43mm.

My hands are fairly large and I thought it might assist me...we can but hope!

I read the review and it seemed to intimate that the wider necks wasn't suitable for beginners or novices - of which I'm sure I still fall into that category even after three years of noise-making.

Can anyone shed some light on that comment and tell me if they have had problems with a wider-necked instrument.

Thanks.

Rock on!
