Is the string spacing good for large hands/fat fingers?

Depends on what you mean by fat fingers. The spacing on this guitar is pretty much standard run of the mill spacing, not especially close, but not as wide as say, a classic nylon guitar. But all you have to do is look at someone like Roy Clark who did pretty well on a standard Gibson neck with his fat fingers. Just gotta try it and see. Just be sure and check the return policy before you put any money down.

Hi Rian, yes, but not that much...is not wide as a clasic guitar but not as narrow as a regular electric guitar

width at nut is 1 and 11/16", that is wide for an electric. You won't easily find a wider electric neck. My classical is at about 1 and 3/4", only slightly wider than this Oscar. If you haven't played a classical than this might be TOO wide for someone used to a standard electric, which is closer to 1 and 8/16" (I think).

Yes. I have very large hands and short fat fingers, and this is one of the easiest and comfortable guitars to play, that I have ever owned, and I've owned quite a few. I highly recommend this one. A lot of guitar for the money.

I have fairly large hands, but my finger won't fit at all. and Also, be weary of the handle threading. after a dozen throws or more the rope around the handle will start to fall off as it is not fused together. it's just wrapped and tucked. I would suggest burning the rope ends to fuse it or using handle tar.

Hi Ted. Yes, I have relatively large hands (peasant genes, hahahah), and I can use it easily for both hands. I don't have enough good to say about this, except I wish they would make a model for feet, too, that was price point sharp like this. I am pretty addicted to this machine since I write 8+ hours a day; I am bigger than the person who wrote that the returned it. The pressure is what pushes the toxins out. Hope that helped!

You shouldn't be worried about the grip. The rubber has a near tacky feel and has a great fit in the hand. I am 6' and wear size large gloves. Great feel. You won't be disappointed.

I have large hands as well. My adult son and husband have bigger hands. The Ove glove with steam protection is plenty big for any of us. However it is stretchy enough that it doesn't slip off my hand. Recommend you get one for each hand as I use both regularly. I love mine and wouldn't want to be wi th out them.

My hand fits easily in a medium-to-large glove, which is not necessarily very large, but the mouse still feels plenty "big" in the sense that I don't have to cramp my hand and fingers up at all around the mouse. If anything, for me there is enough of the mouse to allow me to spread my hand and fingers over it in a relaxed fashion.

While it is possible to reach all the keys with your thumbs I wouldn't say it is completely comfortable. It's a bit of stretch and I have average to slightly larger than average hands. I would recommend the Perixx periboard 717.. it slightly larger than an older blacberry, the touch pad is actually larger than this 710 and WAY more responsive!! and with designated multimedia keys right at the top is perfect for home theater use.

This is a good question. I *may* try to find out for myself. As one responder said, the strings will be floppy. One solution is to change the strings! Fatter strings will allow the instrument to be tuned lower while maintaining proper tension. The problems are two: (1) You have to use the right strings. If the strings are too heavy, the instrument can be ripped apart. There are string tension calculators that can help. (2) Can the instrument accommodate fatter strings? The bridge slots will likely have to be widened. Same for the nut.I'm not sure how good it will sound on the bass end. Also, intonation can be a problem. Still... This is a good question.

I don't have meaty hands, but I have long fingers and it fits me fine. Sorry if this doesn't help!

Yes, they are just perfect for large male hands, or crippled hands because the keys are larger. (my elderly folks love it)

I have XL sized hands but don't have thick fingers, so I used my thumb and it is was easy! I hope this helps you Chris!

Well, I do not think so. I have checked with my 3 classical instruments (from different makers) and the string spacing are almost the same. The difference is not a major issue, I always played only classical guitar and the feeling when playing with SLG130NW is very similar.I am very happy with this Yamaha guitar. Pls consider a good acoustic amplifier (mine is a Behringer Ultracoustic ACX 450).

I find it very easy and it does provide enlarged text sizes. The in-and-out pinch movements with the fingers are essential so some minimal manual dexterity is essential. Other than that, go for it!

No, it's not. But I have fairly large hands and there's plenty of room. I suppose if you got some nylon strap and a buckle, and were handy with a needle, you could make an adjustable strap on it.

Yes, but you will build up some callouses. The down side is that the finger board is wider and flat, bar chords are more difficult than steel string acoustic guitar.
