Line 2:

An '''extended range guitar''' is a guitar with more than 6 strings. For certain microtonal guitars, e.g. the [[Kite guitar]], this may not actually increase the range, because the interval between strings may be smaller than usual.

With more strings, it's important to avoid both a too-wide neck and a too-tight string spacing. ~~For acoustic guitars, Rozini~~ and ~~Ibanez tend~~ to have ~~wider fingerboards~~ than ~~the Eastern European ones~~.

With more strings, it's important to avoid both a too-wide neck and a too-tight string spacing. The 7-string [[wikipedia:Russian_guitar|Russian guitar]] (now also made in Ukraine and Romania) tends to have a narrower fingerboard and a tighter spacing than a 7-string classical guitar.
