edited August 2019 in Guitar
my mate who knows nothing about guitars came in my house as i was noodling on a white orville lp custom "looks great" he said then came out with
"is it a smaller version"


not havin a dig but i suppose its the opposite of small guys playing a 335 ive seen in their words " they feel as if the guitar dwarfs them" 

anybody tall or small had any experiences ?

  • 6'2, used to looking at myself playing 335s. Put my LP on and photos make it look a but like a toy but I got over it quite quickly.

    Just imagine you were listening rather than looking. The eye retains more that the ear.

    If you were blind, would you give a diddly squit?

    6’3”, hate playing 335s etc; love my LPJ and B&G Little Sister, based on parlour guitars. Do I look like a prize Hampton? Probably, but it’s got little to do with the guitars ;)

    I’m 6’5” and currently North of 20st and I play a DC Jr, only problem I find is that daft heel mounted strap button combined with the gut actually tilts the guitar away from you

    at 6' 5'' I used to think I looked silly playing a lester, but then I got a mandolin and realised, in comparison, the LP looked quite sensible.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

  • On the other hand I've only ever had one lp style guitar and it looked massive on me, but i'm a short arse at 5'9"
    Please note my communication is not very good, so please be patient with me

    I'm 6'2 and massive. It's never bothered me whether it looked small or not.

    I'm 6'4". I've got a baritone and a Jazzmaster (and have had a Firebird), all of which are big guitars and I've loved them very much. But I also love my SG and my Jag, and have had a whale of a time with Juniors and Mustangs.

    There's not that much size difference in the playing end.

    @FelineGuitars could make one slightly larger and longer scale. If memory serves they made an oversized ML shape and it looked cool!

    so instead of a 339 for a 335 the big lads get a MORE paul instead of a less paul (sorry!)
