08-13-2008, 04:55 PM
| | | | I'm guessing here but I think it weighs about 8-9 lbs. The string spacing (also a guess) is probably around 18mm. It's not tight but I don't think it's as wide as 19mm. Sorry, that's the best I can do. It plays like butter, The only thing is because the lower horn is so small it's kind of awkward when sitting on the lap. |

Question though... Any neck dive? |

| | | | No neck dive. Very comfortable to play. |
