Hello all
hope you all well. I am on my very early days of playing guitar
50+ male old but with very small hands not too slim either :(
wondering if guitars with a smaller neck not as roundy neck would help to play an electric guitar? [br]How is the best to measure the hands to search for the correct guitar please if possible?
sorry if this question was asked before but I am really a newbie
many thanks ?
The best way is to go to a guitar shop and try as many diffrent instruments as you can. It really is a personal fit kind of thing. Kind of like buying jeans, only the guitar won't shrink.

Dear snojones

just wondered if possible to purchase different kind of sizes neck guitars or all are standard
many thanks again
best regards
Guitars and guitar necks are all diffrent. You should try them on to see how they fit your hand and your body. If as you say you have small hands that could be a real issue if you buy a guitar with a thick neck. Of course you also have to evauate how it sounds as well. Is it quite or loud. Have a lot of bass or trebble in the tone. There is also the matter of looks to consider. You want a guitar that make you happy to play on. There is a lot of varriation and thus the need to try them on. So all of this is important. Electric is the easiest guitar to play, but those have even more profiles to consider.
Do you know any good guitarist? If you can get somebody who is experienced to go with you to the store, that could be a good idea.
But I am sure others will chime in with good ideas as well. So just hang on, you have come to the right place.

Hi. As said, your best option is to go to a guitar store, tell them what you want (i.e. to try different neck profiles) and see what they have. Even if you don't find the profile you like you'll at least know what you don't like.
Here's some info on different neck profiles as general background:
