A couple of questions on string spacing.
1. Are the string spacings the same on all of the 1-11/16th necks the same regardless of the bridge type? (fixed vs. vintage trem)
2. Can we replace the 1-11/16 bridge (fixed) with a 1-5/8 bridge and nut for closer string spacing and less fret "fall-off" - or does the tuner spacing and straight-pull make it not a good option.
3. It may be an old "wives-tale" but I had heard that the older Andersons had 1-11/16th necks with 1-5/8th string spacing which was part of the reason they play so well ???
4. This will be helpful in deciding how to order my Cobra and I would like to make my Hollow-T-Classic a lot faster than it is !! My maple neck Drop-Top-Classic is WAY faster than my Maple rosewood HTC....so I am tying to decide whether it would be best to try and respace it or order a new maple neck for it.......
