View Full Version : String Spacing on a Stick?

Would one of you guys who has a Grand Stick please tell me a measurement regarding the string spacing. (I've been asked a question and I don't know the answer.)

I think the Stick has completely parallel strings, so the spacing should be the same all up and down the fretboard.

The smallest string on a guitar -- the tiny E-string -- is usually numbered string #1.

So my question is -- What is the distance between string #1 and string #6? (Please assume that we're measuring from the *center* of string #1 to the *center* of string #6.) That would be, essentially, the width of the melody strings.

I would be grateful if someone who has a Grand Stick would be so kind as to measure and tell me.

Thank you in advance.
