My first steel-string was a '68 Red Lable FG300 EIR bought in '68 when they first arrived that looked and sounded beautiful. But the 1 5/8 inch nut was a killer for me so after a year of cramps I sold it to get a Fender Precision Bass, and it got sold to buy an audiophile turntable. ..

Now all the nuts on my gits are at least 1 3/4" Ahhhh, relief

Sweet guitar despite the complexity of the bridge.
