For another example, here are the width measurements from my stock X20:
Nut: 1.78”
1st fret: 1.83”
5th fret: 2.03”
12th fret: 2.29”

Right, so for your X20 guitar the width difference between nut and 1st fret is 0.05", and for the guitar Jim measured the difference is 0.12": more than twice as much. I've been thinking about getting an Emerald X10 because I want a 1 11/16" nut, but that won't help if the neck itself is wider than a typical guitar with a 1 3/4" nut.
