Have no problem with nonWick 5 strings
of various widths .... but much much as I
love a Wick-4, their normal 5 is a horror
for me. Tried a few years back, and tried
again more recently. My problem is not
the spacing. It's the shape. Too squarish
and deep for such a flat radius FB.
OTOH, I have found that the Wick Broad
Neck 5 is verrrrrry comfy. Unfortunately,
my comfy neck is on an uncomfy body. I
found my Thumb BN5 is anti-ergonomic
in all aspects except the neck itself. But it
does sound terrific, very versatile, thus I
keep torturing myself trying to get used
to it. No progress at all in over a year :-(
