nut width comparision chart inch/ mm?
does someone know ( or might be willing to put together) about a chart that states the trad nut sizes from really narrow up to really wide, in inch and its matching mm?
it would come in very handy for me to have a look as not a lot of sites do tell the mm (I am dutch, thats why, and I would like a change from my 1 11/16) thanks!! :) |
mm = inch x 25.4
The table is listed as "code" to allow formatting Code:

there is 1 23/32 too, which is 43.65mm. I've seen Bourgeois guitars with this nut width, not sure if there is any other company which uses it too.

fabulous! Thanks a lot, this is of much help so now I know what guidelines to use....will keep that handy!

To convert any factional number to its metric equivalent;
first change the fraction to a decimal (23/32 = divide 23 by 32 = .72) then multiply by the conversion (1 inch = 2.54 cm or 1 inch = 25.4 mm) 1 1/2" = 1.5" X 25.4 = 38.1 mm 1 23/32" =1 (23 ÷ 32 = .72) = 1.72" X 25.4 = 43.69 mm |
Mike Baranik uses 1 25/32" (45.24mm), which is spot on comfortable for me.

Of course the conversions can get a little messy when going back and forth from certain listed figures.
For example, if a builder lists his/her standard nut width as 45mm (not at all unusual, by the way), this would convert in inches to something like 1 99/128. (And even that is not an exact conversion.) So sometimes it's better in doing these conversions to forgo ultimate precision, and just settle for something in the nearest ballpark. .. |
Remember that string spacing at the nut is as important (if not more) and that there is no standard.
