Hi im also a new fresh guitar player. I got the old spanish guitar from my dad and realize during playing my fingers get sore and right positioning is quite hard especially with 3 fingers on adifferent fret, so I wondered how people with artritis play guitar. Then I bumped in to "Zager" guitars. Designed by a man with 70 years of guitar experience. Maybe that's the kind of thing your looking for, dont know, just an idea. I would like to get one, 2nd hand, so I may be going to the shop tomorrow, here in Holland it's still open.
