I had a Pono tenor that had a wider neck with a less rounded edge than my Lanikai tenor. I had to sell it (the Pono) because bar chords actually hurt. Too bad because the Pono had a very nice sound. A lot of people like the wider necks though, and the Gerald Ross ANueNue signature model has a wider neck than their useual specs. It's supposed to make finger picking a bit easier.

Thinking of getting a wide neck tenor ..... any pros or cons ???? Does a wide neck really make things easier for large fingers ??? I've seen some great playing done by large fingers on small ukes ....
How about the KoAloha necks? I have heard that they were somehow ergonomic and a little wider, any ideas about that - I've never played one.
Cons of wide neck.
Possible a chance of increasing the difficulty of quick chord change ups.
