I recently played a Gibson LG-0 while window shopping in Georgia (was there for work).
I was surprised to find I didn’t find the neck cramped up near the nut, and I could get my thumb over the neck easier than either my GF30 or my Waterloo WL-K.
I think it was the narrower neck that let me get my thumb over more easily. I think the shorter scale length let my fingers get the rest of the fingering more easily than the longer scale length of my GF30.
What Guild models would have similar necks to the LG-0? I’m mostly interested in Hoboken or Westerly models. Prefer a smaller body as well.
