okay…Guitarist Hand Measurements!!

so i feel like i need to say that obviously these are not 100% accurate, but from just basic knowledge of male hand size and also perusing some guitarist forums on the topic, i can at least say that these are quite likely.

any additional information about the process can be found here

*also a small note is that even though i included width, it’s not very accurate since most are not stretched to full capacity.

now with that out of the way…
