I've measured several Rainsong guitars and they are indeed 1.75" at the nut. However, every 1.75" nut I've measured also has exactly 1.5" string spacing, center-to-center. Sometimes a new nut can be made to spread the strings out a bit more. If you go too wide, the risk is that the first and sixth strings can slip off the edge of the fret board.

The CA Cargo is 22.75" scale (think "capo second fret") and a 1.75" nut width. We really like ours, and my wife plays in finger style exclusively.
