I guess, depending on how sensitive one is, I can understand what was said in the original post. I have three Rainsongs...a new Parlor, new OM and an APLE. Just measured all three of them, and they all measure 1.730" on my dial caliper. There is no way I can get them anywhere near 1.750". So, that's a .020" difference, and I guess that may be of issue to someone. I've personally found in many cases when a nut width is said to be 1.750", they in fact measure slightly wider...around 1.770". So, if someone is used to playing a guitar, although spec'd as 1.750" and is actually 1.770", playing a Rainsong that actually measures 1.730" would be a .040" difference, and I would think that would be noticeable.
