cool playing man! since the neck is longer are the frets bigger by any chance? i play a lot of chords and double stops but i find it hard on a regular mando as iv sausage fingers

[BottleneckJohn]

@mguygh

The scale is longer than on some other mandolins so big fingers won't be a problem I'd say..!!
