rombsix -> RE: Newbie question: 650 or 640? (Sep. 19 2014 0:31:20)

You have to take the setup into account. If the setup is not great, then the 10 mm difference between 650 & 640 makes sense, especially if you have joint problems like in my situation. You are playing guitar for fun I would assume, and therefore you need to make sure that this is not something that will cause you injuries (at least in my opinion). I suggest you try two guitars that have a good setup & they differ mostly in their scale length. Then, you will be able to figure things out. Even if you have a 640 mm which does not have a comfortable setup, I think you will notice that you can reach things a bit more easily than with a 650 mm if your hands are of certain dimensions. At the end of the day, it is all about being able to play in a healthy fashion, or else injuries will thwart your journey... Cheers!
