Talking about the nut width and neck shape, my favorite is Martin's 1 11/16 low profile, which is exactly what my J-40 got. This custom 000-21 got 1 5/8 with a slight V shape, less pronounced than modern day Modified V like 000-28EC IMO. Neck profile was OK for me, but the narrower nut width was not. I could still play some tunes that I play on my J-40, but it would be more smooth with 1 11/16 nut for me. I'm 5' 8'', and have smaller hands than other guys.
In short, great sounding and looking guitar, and my only concern is the nut width (and a little bit about the neck profile, too).
