Looking for Steel string acoustic with wide neck

clinton

I'm either mad or both
Hi All

Anyone know of a manufacturer who makes acoustics (steel string) for people with fatter fingers.

I have a student who would love to learn but his fingers just dont fit on my ovation neck

There must be someone who makes a classical style neck width for steel string

Thanks
 
check out some seagull s6's. the fingerboard seems a little wider than most acoustic guitars that i've played. the cedar top models sound as good as they play too.
 
Cool thanks I have checked them out.
Now I gotta find out who stocks them in South Africa.

Thanks Guys
 
Hard to find but Ovation made a steel stringed version (most are nylons) of their Country Artist guitars beginning in the mid '90's. Wide neck and very playable.

ha! beat me to it.

it looks like the s6 may be discontinued? or maybe it's just the cedar top model. what a shame.

Aw Jeez, tell me it ain't so...My next acoustic will be another Seagull. The one I have is pretty old, well seasoned and rich sounding.

This was recorded with my S6 via an Ibeam Active (too much extraneous noise in the basement for mics at the time);

It sounds a lot better mic'd, but you get an idea how nice the guitar sounds (as opposed to my voice!!)
