I like everything but the string spacing. Prefer the comfort taper.

Sure looks like comfort taper to me, classic has really tight spacing. (like this one: https://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=8939.0 )

I thought it said something in the listing about the string saddles having been filled with solder, and recut. May have nothing to do with it, just something I thought I saw.


*For comparions' sake, this Elan 6 had a 'classic taper' neck and spacing. https://reverb.com/item/57258022

Looks classic taper or custom. Still too narrow.
