Thanks, Steve. That's exactly the kind of info I'm looking for and coming from you it bears weight. I do own a Seagull mini jumbo and the 1.8" nut width is just perfect. The only thing that makes me hesitate with the 5th Avenue is the 1.72" nut. I've heard enough good recordings of the Godin to know that I'd be happy with it. I know there's more to playability than just nut width so maybe I just need to get my hands on one.
Thanks for the honest input on both the Godin and the Gretsch!
