I have no problem playing on a 1 11/16 vs 1 3/4 nut. I actually cannot feel the difference. I would imagine it depends on the person, but yes, it is definitely playable for most. Look at John Mayer for example, that man can play and he uses 1 11/16 as well as 1 7/8. His Martin OMJM and D45 both come with 1 11/16, and his 00-42sc is 1 7/8. I think most of us can adapt to different nut widths, we just have to mentally jump the hurdle of thinking we can’t.
