Re: neck width of classical guitar vs. steel strung guitar

No, that is not the function of that instrument. If Chet Atkins showed
up for classical guitar lessons he would not use that instrument. It
looks full size so we could probably get by while a student took the
time to purchase a classical. The slim width of the body would affect
sitting position (contact points) and tone would be crap.
If that thing plays well it would probably be great for functional
gigs (weddings, parties, etc.) I had Yamaha donate a classsical
electric and I used it once, but the neck width was the same as a
steel string and it was uncomfortable to play high level rep on. If it
was a huge deal I'd go check one out, but I get by on the gigs we do
by open miking.
