Guitalele compared to Short Scale Guitar

I play Guitalele but find the fingering a little tight. So that made me think of a Requinto Guitar. Maybe a little more finger space. But when I check the specifications of a Requinto, they seem to be almost the same as my Yamaha CS40 and Aria A 20-53 Guitars except the Requinto has different strings. So now I am thinking that I could restring one of my short scale guitars and have a Requinto Guitar. Requinto tuning would put my guitar the same as a Guitalele, A to A.

Am I lost on the above or correct? Would the guitar with the Requinto strings sound just like a Requinto Guitar? What are your opinions and/or experiences?

A lot of 580 scale guitars I've seen are tuned standard E-E. They're sometimes referred to as 3/4 scale, although Cordoba considers 3/4 to be 615mm.

Also, consider the nut width. Getting a wider nut on the same scale helps a lot with the finger spacing, but then might make it harder to bar chords. I recently bought a cheap Valencia VC203 guitar with 580 scale, but it had a bit wider nut for a 3/4 size(48 mm), so the string spacing felt a little better than some of the other short scale guitars I tried. Coming from a baritone, the string spacing still feels tight in comparison, but the fret spacing seems massive.

So CS40 is almost 23" scale and you want A-to-A tuning. I would look for the lowest tension classical strings you can find. I am sure the Savarez high tension set would be for E-to-E tuning.

The Aria alto guitar is tuned B to B (5th up from guitar) and is 530mm. Lighter or heavier bracing influences string resistance but it's mostly about using the right gauge of strings for the tuning you desire.

The DAddario J94 Requinto set are really light gauge but sound good tuned A to A. I've used them on several of my 510mm scale instruments (use custom Seaguar now).

For more fingerspace try a Cordoba Mini M. You can buy strings for either A or E tuning.

It has a nutwidth of 50 mm and if you want a more "steely" sound, try the Thomastic KR116 strings, that are a mixture of steel and nylon but at a low tension equal to pure nylon strings.
