That 1-7/8" mesurement isnt what I was hoping to hear. It seems very narrow. I thought the neck was the same as the full size guitars. There is no way that they are 1-7/8". Are you sure about that measurement?
erikro I've measured my L-03 and Parlor and they are
identical in string spacing at 12th fret
1-13/16" and at bridge
2-3/16" ... I guess it is just some kinda optical illusion that makes it seem the parlor has less space...
