This pack contains just the ChordBuddy device that clamps on to most electric and acoustic guitars. The instructional material and songbooks are part of the ChordBuddy Guitar Learning System that are sold as a pack. This device by itself can support classrooms settings where books are sold separately or if someone wants to test out the device on their guitar first to see how it operates. A ChordBuddy device for classical guitars is also available for guitars whose necks are wider -- about 1-7/8 inches -- than normal guitars.
Will ChordBuddy Work on my Guitar?
- Measure across the neck at the nut (the white bar between the frets and the tuning pegs), it should be around 1 3/4″ (1 ½” minimum and 1 7/8” maximum) and from the nut to the 3rd fret should be approximately 4″.
- ChordBuddy for non-classical guitars works with both left and right handed guitars! The “right” and “left” handed ChordBuddy will work with full size, 3/4 size and 5/8 size guitars.
- If you have a classical and/or Spanish guitar (any guitar with a neck width of more than 1 7/8″) you’ll need to make sure to select the “Classical” version ChordBuddy.
- ChordBuddy will not work on half-sized (or any guitar with a neck width of less than 1 1/2″) (children’s) guitars. Or 3/4 size guitars that does not have standard scale length ( which is about half of 3/4 size guitars)
- ChordBuddy will only work on a six string guitar.
