Hi All,
I am beginner; and I was blindly preferred Kanile'a because it is 38mm at the nut and because I want primarily to play classic / fingerstyle.
But UAS swallowed me...
So, here is comparison of the distance between 1st string and 4th string on my classic guitar, Kanile'a, Kala, aNueNue, and Enya:
Classic Guitar: 25.5 between 1st and 4th strings
Kala: 29mm (35mm nut width)
aNueNue: 29.5mm (36mm nut width)
Kanile'a (I have two!): 29.5mm (38mm nut width)
Enya EUT-M6: 31mm (40mm nut width)
So as you can see "fingerboard width at the nut" is just hype and self limiting belief... I don't have any problem with width between strings on my classic guitar (and difference is more then 1 mm between pair of strings!)
So, first place for fingerstyle: Enya!
Almost no difference between Kanile's and Kala (in terms of space between strings). Maybe 0.2mm difference (three pairs; total 0.6mm difference between 1st and 4th strings). However, I didn't measure spaces at the bridge.
I used plastic tool to avoid strings damage; there could be 0.2mm error. I have super-tool from StewMac too but it can damage strings.
So, is it hype? 38mm (Kanile'a) vs. 35mm (Kala) "width at the nut". And compare to classic guitar which I never had any feelings that space is not enough...
