Any common guitars with 1 13/16" nut?

[tomiv9]

I am curious to try some acoustics with a wider 1 13/16" nut. Are there any common models that may be at guitar center or sam ash, etc that i should look for?

Common?
My Larrivee SD 50 has an 1 13/16" nut.So does the SD 60.
These can be found with a bit of searching and patience.They usually go for reasonable prices used.

The Eastman parlors (E10P and E20P) have the 1 13/16".

Big ol' chunky necks. I love 'em.

Many Seagull guitars have a 1.80" nut with a 1.50" string spacing.

I just bought a used Recording King RP1-16C and the stated 1 3/4 nut measures much closer to 1 13/16 than to 1 3/4.

Seems like they're not that uncommon in 12 fret open headstock models. My Collings 0002h has one. Pretty substantial difference from 1 3/4, very easy fingring in open position, but bar chords up the neck become more challenging. That said, I love 1 13/16 for my finger style playing.

The important thing is to understand ensure the string spacing at both the nut and the saddle are where you need them to be. I have found that the perfect combination for myself, is 1 13/16 at the nut, and 2 5/16 at the saddle.

My walker is 1 3/4 at the nut and 2 6/16 at the saddle (wider than usual and sometimes referred to as vintage spacing by companies like Collings), so it too works for me, though normally, 1 3/4 would not be wide enough.

A Lowden I once bought had a 1 3/4 nut with a 2 3/16 spacing at the saddle, and my fingers tripped all over themselves.

Make sure you understand string spacing at the saddle as well.
