I need a wider 5 string neck

Monday, May 18, 2026

I have a 5 string Conrad I hear it was made by Kashuga in the 1970s

Well the neck is too damn narrow for my fat fingers so rather than have my fingers surgically narrowed I think a wider neck/fingerboard would give me a chance. The current finger board with the plastic edge is 30mm or 1 3/16" at the nut. Another 1/8" or more would help a lot. If I could find a wider finger board I could bastardize it on. The current fingerboard is 22 frets and is 19 1/8".

Any ideas? Bright or otherwise?
