I've been an acoustic player all my life, but with my hands in the shape they are now, I'm thinking about moving to an electric.
I've narrowed my choices down to a '97 Blues 90 and a brand new Aristocrat. I can purchase either one for the same price. The Blues90 is in very good condition.
I would be buying the Blues90 unseen and don't know about the neck profile. My hands are small and though I can play an 1-3/4" nut on acoustic, the narrower nuts are certainly easier on my hands.
The Blues90 I'm told is like a baseball bat, a full round C....so it kinda scares me a bit. I don't know what the Aristocrat neck is like in comparison either.
So, how about some help here.....my priority is to be able to play without pain and be able to play. I will be changing my playing style obviously.
For years I've had a "66 Italian made "Custom Built" 335 style electric, but its too hard for me to play and it's full scale. The neck profile is a full C. So I know that isn't going to work for me.
All and any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
