View Full Version : Bush Fingerboard widths
Could one of you Bush owners please measure the fingerboard including binding at the nut, 7th fret 12th and 15th fret for me. Thank you in advance!! Chris

Chris,
#i can offer just a bit of info for you. #This summer i was visiting a music store and plucked a Gibson for a few minutes. (unusual for me cause gibsons are too narrow for me). #But this I could play comfortably without muting strings. #i couldn't believe i could play a Gibson. i looked at the model...Sam Bush. #i asked the gal behind the counter for a tape measure. #we measured fingerboard (neck) at the nut...1 3/16". #didn't measure take any more measures, just continued to enjoy fine Gibson tone. #of course i had to put it back on the hook. #it cost more than my car.
Eric, Thanks for the bit of info. I have a couple of mandos in the white right now and I would like to make the fingerboards width between a bush and loar specs. There are some like yourself that like a bit of room between strings. Chris
