Unfortunately, most people want 1 3/4 these days.
Enjoy!

Being an electric player I adapt pretty easily to different size and shaped necks. I do like 1-3/4" for fingerpicking, but 1-11/16" still works fine. Having J45's with 1.725" nuts going back and forth is easy, plus the D16M neck has a much more traditional depth to it over the new D18 neck which makes it very comfortable. I know a lot of people say that the Spanish Cedar is just as good as Mahogany but I disagree, you have to be way more careful with capos with SC than with a good hard piece of hog.
