Neck Profile Sweet 16 Vs H575

[LaVonne]

I've had my Sweet 16 for a couple of years and I really enjoy playing it but as I get more into chord melody and fingerstyle and as I get older I'm considering switching to a guitar with a sorter scale such as the H575. My question is how do the neck profiles compare? The neck on the Sweet 16 is a bit chunky. I would expect the H575 to have a slimmer / faster neck. If you've played both I would like to hear your comments.

 

Thanks.

Highly variable.

 

I've had a Golden Eagle and a H550 with thin necks. The fattest Heritages I've played have had the shorter scale, but many of the shorter scaled guitars have thin necks.

 

I haven't noticed much difference practically between the scale lengths, and I play finger style. There may be a slight advantage to a wider nut, but it creates a slight disadvantage when fretting the A string with your thumb.

 

Best of luck.

Don't make me repeat myself again.
