My hands are small to go along with everything else about me that’s small. Lol. I play my N2 neck dread without difficulty, and yes, it took a little bit of getting used to but now I see no difference in that one from playing my wood guitars of all shapes and sizes.

PRICE - A good price is what you’re willing to pay for it. I spent more than I wanted for this parlor, but it was definitely a fair and competitive price- below market value, I believe. It’s just that I have enough other guitars, but always wanted this one. I took a chance and offered the seller/store almost $400 less than what it was posted for- after it already stated that the price shown was after a price drop. I was surprised and happy when they accepted.

If you really want the guitar, do it now. They are going to be harder and harder to come by. Just throw an offer out there. Don’t be afraid to offer what you feel you want to pay, even if you think it’s low. If the seller really wants to sell, they will at the very least give you a counter offer.
I gigged a SMH Smokey guitar with N2 neck for a year. It was fine and I have large hands. I just prefer the N1 slightly and wish they had made one in between the two!

Like you said you adapt to whatever you play and it really doesn’t bother me. Also having the truss rod can be useful for micro adjustments.
