Hey Leon. I would absolutely suggest getting a fender guitar with a modern C shaped neck. I too have smaller hands than the average guy, and I am able to play more chords and licks on my Stratocasters than on my Les Paul. The Les Paul has shorter scale length, so it's easier to play in regards to string tension. But thinner/smaller neck is more important. I sold my ´57 Les Paul when I first tried playing a modern Strat. (The Player series actually.). I've also compared it to a PRS Silver Sky and various other PRS models. And they to have fatter necks. So go for a Strat. No doubt in my mind.
@@stiansyltaguitar thank you for your suggestion! I am encountering the same issue with my PRS SE 245 which has a wide fat neck. I am now searching for strat / tele replacement.
@@leonbut Yup. PRS guitars are beautiful. I myself really like the Starla model. But every PRS I try has that fatter neck. One thing, make sure you go for a modern Strat, or at least something with a 60´s or later neck. Fender also used really fat necks in the 50´s. Modern C or just C shape is best. And remember. Even though they are harder to play, I still recommend keeping a nice Les Paul or PRS around for when you need that awesome humbucker sound ;)
Such a sick freaking guitar man!! Looks beautiful. 🙏
I have really small hands (span frm thumb to toe ~7.2"). do you have any brand and model suggestion for small hands player?
