Many, if not most, Seagull models have slightly wider necks than most other acoustics. For those who have played those wider necked Seagulls, do you find it difficult to adjust to the less wide necks on electrics after having played the wider neck? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to the wider neck on those Seagulls?
I can't play acoustics worth a damn but want to grab one and to put in some work. I am thinking that a mid-level, all wood Seagull or Simon & Patrick would be a good buy. I can buy new at L&M but these are readily available on the used market so I was thinking of going that route, but do not want to buy a wider necked one if there are disadvantages to them or if they make it difficult to adjust back to electric necks. Buying new through L&M would give me a return window, but that window doesn't exist on the used market so I wanted to ask here before I started looking. I will, of course, try some before buying but my local L&M doesn't carry Seagull (they carry S&P instead) so I would have to make about a half hour trip to the next nearest store that does stock them and figured I should ask for info here before taking the trip.
Thanks in advance.
