Are some Guitars easier to play than others? For me is seems so, in this order.
SG, Strat, 335. J6 the gap between the first three is not much but to me the Washburn J6 seem a little more pronounced.

What of this….when I was considering upgrading from my Mex Strat to a USA..I asked one of the young guys in the shop.. what do I get for such a jump in price about four times as much in this case…Amongst the usual build quality etc.

He said “ it’s easier to play “ Now my US model does sound much better than the Mex, but I can’t say / remember if it is any easier to play.

itr all depends on the player. i had a Kramer with a really narrow neck that was uncomfortable for me but others love them. some people dont like LP 50's necks some do. i like Guinness and not a fan of Lager my mate prefers Lager. its all subjective

It's all subjective....do you like the Beatles or the Stones better?

The same can be said about one guitar being "easier to play" than another.

Ultimately, it's a matter of personal taste.









...and of course, everybody knows the Stones are better.

Acoustic guitars give more trouble to some in My opinion. Hand an acoustic to someone who's only played electric and see what happens.

I think just about every guitar player has played at least one guitar in their life that felt better than the rest. For me it was my Tele. And My Schecter Hellraiser is in a close second, but the Tele just feels right in my hands.

I agree.

SOLID!

I had a Kramer with a narrow neck and it felt better than a Les Paul Deluxe. I played acoustic V neck Martins that were easier to play than a Taylor. I have a 12 fret Martin that has a very wide neck and is difficult to strum but it plays fingerpicking with ease. Also, I like Guiness, Beemish, and Murphys and homebrew varietes of west coast ale and any homemade wheat beer, as well as Belgian high gravity ales. Others, well, they prefer Bud light.

Life is too short to drink watered down high carbonation beer that cost more for shipping and marketing.

you are asking a question that only you can answer my friend. i prefer my mim over my mia right now. why? i don't know. it just feels better. that could change tomorrow. i prefer my old charvel over both of those. i'm working on getting my mia in a regular rotation. it's a great guitar. i just need a new pickup and set-up. who knows, maybe it will be number one.
it's all about you, not the price tag.

Scale length goes a long way in how stiff the strings will be when up to pitch, and so does string gauge. But I think what you have experienced comes down to the setup of each individual guitar. Some can be set up much better than others out of the box. Every single detail would have to be identical with every guitar for all to play the same

It all depends on personal taste,playing style,feel,hand size etc.A ex bandmate of mine always played Gibsons because the chunky necks were just right for his huge hands. He always liked the sound of Strats and Teles but even the biggest necks were too small for his ham sized mitts so he ended up building his own Strat style guitar but with a Gibson sized neck-problem solved.

Thank you everyone.. My knowledge grows by the day...thanks to you chaps.

Yup, it's all subjective. How big are your hands, how long and thin or thick are your fingers?

How big are you? How long are your arms? How strong are you? Agile? Old, fast reactions?

Where do you place your thumb? Do you play mostly on your fingertips or more? Thumb fretting on the 6th?

That said, the Mosrite Mk I...sweet Heaven, that neck is like a V-12 Ferrari....

I find Fenders easier/more comfortable to play than Gibsons.

I find the Gibson 50's and Fender U necks much more comfortable to play than the Gibson 60's and Fender C's.
