Neck Size Exchange
Hi Mates,
Have had a 414 for about a year. Great guitar! Didn't know diddly about Taylor until I went looking for a Gibby J-45 or a similar Martin. Long story short, the sales guy asked me if I'd like to try a Taylor. End of story. Unfortunately, I was not aware of different neck widths available. I've got short stubbies for digits and bought the 414 with the standard 1.75" neck width. I can handle it OK but a 1 and 11/16" width would probably be ideal. Question: Has anybody tried to swap out one size neck for another? Is this something that Taylor will do? I realize if they did offer this service it would be expensive, but that's OK. Willy 2 Shoes

as far as I know....
getting a Taylor with a 1 11/16 neck is a NO-charge option...
now wait a second, I'm not reading carefully enough again...you seem to know that now... I don't know the answer to your question... that's not of much help I suppose......

I very much doubt it. I’m guessing they’d have to change the string spacing on you’re current bridge, and I think the space where your neck connects to the body is probably wider than it would be for a 1 11/16. I could be wrong, I’m curious to hear what you find out. Can’t be cheap. Have you tried the same guitar with a narrower neck? Are you're fingers just short? I don't think it'll make a too big difference if they are just a little short ( we're talking a 1/8th of inch). If they are "stubby", as in kind of big around, you might be better off with the 1 3/4.
