If you tend to squeeze the strings hard against the fret board, you can inadvertently pull notes or parts of chords sharp. I recently tried the 6115's which are tall but not as big, I like them too. Give em a go! (6100's) you may love them! :icon_thumright:

I was thinking 6115s, but they are the same height as 6105 and 6150, right?
stratamania said:I would say give the 6100s a try. I would not consider them to be super jumbo, just jumbo. And no they do not really feel like you are playing on a scalloped neck, for anyone who has played an actual scalloped neck.
Dunlop 6000 size is more of a super jumbo.

Though 6100's do not equate to a scalloped neck, with a heavy hand. you can pull notes sharp on them. There is an adjustment period. Depends on the player. :icon_thumright:
TonyFlyingSquirrel said:If you want your fingers up off of the fingerboard for the majority of your playing, 6100’s are fine, you’ll only feel the fingerboard occasionally when you dig in to bend.
Scalloped fingerboards aren’t for the gain of heart or heavy handed. If you have a very light touch on the fingerboard, the acclimatization is tolerable.
