  1. Edited to give some more context.
  2. Can anyone help me out with a Spector dilemma please? There are NO Spector stockists in Ireland that I can find, so buying one that suits me is proving to be a challenge. I took the plunge last week and bought a mint Rebop 4 blind for a good price. Although I wasn't bowled over on first contact, I'm really starting to appreciate the sound, the action, and the overall feel and quality of the workmanship. But... it just doesn't sing to me. I think it actually comes down to the width of the neck. I like the low action, but the fretboard is just a little to wide for me, or at least, what I'm used to. It's just not as fast as my trusty and crusty old Hohner Jack. I really want to like it, but I think it's going to have to go. I'd love to stay with Spector so I'm wondering if the Legends or Euros are more suitable. This is what is on the Spector site for the nut widths. It doesn't help that the Rebop dimensions aren't on there, but I measure mine to be 1 and 5/8" at the nut, which is 1.625" Legend Classic 1.56 Legend Custom 1.79 Spectorcore 1.56 Rebop ? Euro4LX 1.64 Euro4LX Doug 1.5 Anyway, if I'm interpreting this correctly, the Rebop is actually narrower than a Euro. The Legend Custom is even wider again. The Legend Classic and Spectorcore are a little narrower than the Rebop, so maybe I outta try one of them. Obviously what I really want is a Doug Wimbish Euro (which is exactly the same nut width as my Jack) but unfortunately it's just a tad outside my price range. Is it worth me trying a Classic, or should I be looking for something other than a Spector? Sorry for the length of the dilemma. Believe it or not, this is the short version Thanks.
