How do you easily switch between nut widths, neck sizes, string spacing, etc?

Sounds like Goldilocks and the three guitars ?
Or is that Silverlocks ?
Back when I played electrics, Gibson was my favorite brand, especially Les Pauls. Didn't know much about string spacing, but didn't care. I knew what I liked. And my acoustics had wider necks, including a 12 string, but that seemed to be normal. So I seem to be adaptable on this issue, but the 1+7/8" necks on Taylor 12s is about my upper limit.
Bruce, I still like holding a Gibson, and you might want to check your Epiphone EJ-200 nut next time you play it. My EJ-200 has the same nut width as my Gibson J-200. Given the difference in years and country of manufacture (mine is Korea, 4 inlay bridge), it may or may not not be the same for you. My Alvarez has a 1+11/16" neck, just for the record. Taylor 6 stringers have 1+3/4" nuts, but my short scale 412e-R Grand Concert seems to play narrower. - !? . . . Just me I guess.
Be well.
Don, now also with lots of silverlocks too.
