Hi John ,
thank you very much for the info on the Steve Bailey VI
However ,there are still two important specifications that I would like to know :
what is the weight of the fretted instrument and how much is the string spacing ?

Thank you ,

Wilfried

If you're French-speaking you can start a thread on the French discussion lounge of the International section. You'll find the answer there.

Unfortunately there isn't a Dutch discussion forum yet.

Alternatively you can discuss your question in the German lounge.

It was nice to see that video again.

I'm probably the only one on this forum to play the Steve Bailey and I've written a great review on here somewhere.

I also got lucky as I got one of the last ones produced. If you can find one jump on it. I love mine but am a little worried as it is now a collectors item. But instruments are meant to be played not locked away.

I might eventually get the Warwick model more for the structural similarities (Neck Shape, Pick-up placement, String Spacing etc.) then the "Fan Boy" ones. And so I know it's fairly easy to replace if it grows legs and walks off after a gig.

C/S,
Rev J
