Hello all, new here with a question.The 2171 ultra and the 2771 lx balladeer look very similar looking at thier pictures.does anyone know if the string spacing is wider on the balladeer.I have an 1861 balladeer and like the wide neck.Was wondering if one of these would be similar.Which one would be the better choice.
Thanks
martin48

P.S. Is the 2771 made in USA

2171, 2771LX and 1861 should all have the same neck width.

2771 is Assembled in the USA from parts sourced from the Korean factory. But it has a lot of US features. There's a thread about the 2171 down the list a little you should check out. The neck on both guitars should be the same from a width perspective, but I don't know if the profile is the same or different. Both are contour bowls, so they will play and feel different than your 1861. The better choice? That's something you have to decide, but there are some smoking hot deals on both these guitars out there right now.

P.S. Welcome! What kind of music do you play??

I try to play country and gospel but not very good at it although I do enjoy playing.
I can't tell much difference in the two guitars from the pictures so if they are about the same I'LL go with the best deal I can find. Thanks everybody.
