Hi friends,
I've been playing a beautiful Weber Yellowstone HT A wide nut since 2014. I love the sound and the look but I'm considering a trade and wanted to ask for some advice. It's signed by Bruce and he did some customization on it as well - scooped extension and nut adjustment. It's also got an internal K&K pickup.
First, I know it's just a strap hanger, but I want an F style. I've always loved the look, and am willing to pay the extra tax for it.
More importantly, I've always struggled with the Weber neck. It's a wide nut, I don't have huge hands, and the neck profile always has felt too chunky to me. It was probably the wrong choice from the get go.
I get pain in between my thumb and index finger, especially when I'm reaching and the neck pushes into that spot in the "crotch" of my hand. I know mandos come in all manner of neck profiles. I think a narrower nut will help, but also maybe a different shape.
I'm getting older and need something more comfortable to play. I'm just a casual player, occasional jams, mostly for self entertainment though.
Would love some advice, especially on the neck profile and comfort factor.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
