I marvel at some of you that are playing such a wide variety of stringed instruments. Very impressive.
I agree that it’s remarkable how small a difference our hands can feel, though it should be noted there’s a commensurate change in the depth as well if the same type of profile is desired. That means there’s a change in two dimensions.
Regardless, I can tell the difference between 1 3/4” and 1 11/16” with ease, as the latter tends to crowd my fingers together when playing fingerstyle. That’s not to say I couldn’t adapt to 1 11/16” if I had to, but I have a strong preference for 1 3/4” and most fingerstyle-oriented guitars are built to this spec. Given the huge breadth of options available to guitarists these days, those of us that care about nut width can afford to have a preference.
