Halo OCTAVIA Wide Neck Guitar
One of the most popular models in the Halo production line just got better. Highly regarded as the industry standard for professional grade wide-neck electric guitars, the Halo Octavia Wide Neck Guitar knocks it out of the park with all of the features you love. Starting with an extra wide nut width of 50mm (2") and powered by a matched set of Halo Bare Knuckle Humbucker pickups, the Octavia-6 Wide Neck Guitar is a bonafide musical chameleon that easily finds itself comfortable in virtually any playing situation, on any stage, anywhere in the world.
Current models have the following two updates: (1) no truss rod cover on angled headstock and (2) spoke wheel truss rod (adjust at end of fretboard).
50mm NUT WIDTH (~2”)
You’ll never feel cramped for space again with this extra wide 50mm nut. This is a common nut width found on standard classical guitars.
61mm BRIDGE SPACING
The extra wide spacing at the bridge gives fingerstyle players plenty of room to navigate complex plucking, arpeggios and other right hand techniques.
