The peerless maestro can be a good option. It is a very well built guitar, all with solid woods, very comfortable due to its small size and with a very warm sound. In my opinion it is much superior to the ibaz GB10, I had one previously. Despite being only 15 ", it has a good acoustic sound that allows you to play at home without an amplifier. The width of the nut is somewhat larger than usual, which makes it very comfortable for chords, chord melodies and fingerpicking. I have had one for a few years and I am delighted with it.

Indeed. The width of the nut is standard but the width of the rest of the neck I think is a bit wider than normal, at least that's how I perceive it. Originally Posted by RJVB

1.75" is fairly common, but the norm is 1-11/16. Originally Posted by RJVB

I believe the standard on most archtops is a bit narrower, 1 11/16 inches, 42.86 mm. Small it may seem, but most players can feel that difference, especially since the 1.75" necks tend to be radiused flatter. Originally Posted by RJVB

That one is in Northwest US, if I'm not mistaken... couldn't be farther away from Europe. Originally Posted by pingu

Nice guitar and nice sounding (in some Youtube demos).

mierenneuken as we'd poetically say in my country. Plus, the OP is in France and you'll have to account for the fact that the earth isn't a perfect sphere (yes, even when you want to go through) Originally Posted by frabarmus

I don't need another guitar, but I'm tempted. Who knows...

Bop Head, I know. If the Phlaegrean Fields "lose their temper", it's gonna be extremely tough luck for a lot of people.
One only hopes that "sooner", in terms of geological time, means "not in our lifetime"...

For those of you who don't know: "Vedi Napoli e poi muori", means: "You must see Naples before you die!" But it may also be interpreted as meaning: "You're going to die after seeing Naples".
Ok, sorry about the diversion, Monica. Let us know which guitar you buy in the end...

I'm still thinking, the ibanez GB10 and LGB30 are my first options right now. I'm not in a rush of buying as i'm focusing right now on studying Joe Pass Chrod Solos book !
Sometimes I dream of an ES175 but it's just a sweet dream ahah

Greetings from New Zealand. Much as I like the idea of being connected by tunnel to Italy, one of my favourite countries, I am afraid I must report that the antipode of New Zealand is Spain. Originally Posted by frabarmus

Oooh! Too bad, pretty close, though.
Well,if anything, we both live in a "boot"

Ciao Ora!
