New electric guitar day!!!
I’m super hyped !!!
I started learning guitar a few years back, but the nut width on the guitar was too narrow for the size of my hand, fingers always touching the next string when playing chords, really frustrating and finally gave up and sold the guitar.

Found a company that makes wide nut guitars, they had a telecaster model with a 1 7/8” nut width, and a dude was selling one on Kijiji for a good price, bought this morning. What a difference!!!

Eager to get back to learning to play, the guitar is brand new shape, and the seller had a luthier upgrade the pickups.
Sweet!

Re: New electric guitar day!!!
Yeah you need at least a 12" radius neck and would adore a 14" radius. Typically strats and teles either have 7.25 to 9.5" radius which I do not like. You want a flat and wider neck than that and then you will be good to go. Great looking tele man, you enjoy that thing bro!

Very nice tele! Not only is the tele one of the most versatile guitars tone-wise, but is rumored to be the best guitar to have in a bar fight. Enjoy your new friend, and remember what guitarist John McLaughlin said: "Music is the language of the soul".

Edited to add 5 -star rating for guitar content on GLP! More, more...

Thanks friend!
Yeah, I read up up a lot on the Telecaster, really glad I found one with a wide neck, I really want to get back to learning and playing, music is a wonderful gift.

Cool you got a new Strat, great guitar.

The acoustic is an Epiphone, a friend lent it to me about 3 years ago, he moved away and told me I could keep it since he had more guitars.

Trumpian fingered guitarist here.

Use a capo as the higher up the fretboard you go the wider apart are the strings.

A sacred time for a guitar player.

Have you heard of warmouth? They make custom guitars and necks which you can spec the radius and nut width on.

Also have a look at learning the classical guitar. It's supposed to be played with one foot raised and cradled in between your legs held ina more upright position to over come the wide nut width.

Forget yamaha guitars as they tend to be a bit more narrow.

Bought off the rack at Guitar Center.

Back in the day I played a custom Jackson that I'd ordered from the factory... serial #1189.

Wish I still had it just because it was such an early Jackson, but, sometimes you have to sell things you don't want to in order to survive, when you're young.

This one cost 1/3 of that one, and I'd rate it a nearly equal guitar.

Sweet guitar!
Schecter quality is quite good, too bad about you have to sell the Jackson,
I had to do that with my 6 month old 50 watt custom tube head Port City Pearl amp and my slant 4 x 12 Mesa cab when my financial situation hit a wall some months back. Sad day, but it got me back on financial track.

Yeah, I checked out the Warmoth necks, great products, but more that I wanted to spend on a guitar neck.

I paid $350.00 CAD cash for the tele.

Dude...how on earth do you know what radius he'd like when you have no idea what he plays or what his style is? 12'+ radii fretboards have only come into vogue with the modern metal, shredding crowd. If you dont regularly play more than full step bends then an old school radius on a tele is gonna be just fine with most folks. I like them too, I have a stable of prestige RG's at 16", but telling some stranger on the internet he needs a big radius just because he bought a tele is silly.

IMO, a good neck is worth every penny. Pay once, cry once. I get my necks from Musikraft. They're a licensed Fender neck manufacturer. KnE Guitars for my bodies.

I'm getting ready to finish a build an EVH Frankenstrat that will be better than the $2K or even $3K ones out there for a fraction of the cost.

I just sold this today:
