If you own a guitar with 1 13/16ths would you be kind enough to measure the width at the 12th fret so that I may have a comparison.
Thanks very much for your help.

I have five Collings 12 fretters -all 1 & 13/16" nut widths - that's why I have 'em!
The string spacing on the dreads is 2 & 3/8"
On the 000 over 25.5" scale is 2 & 5/16" and the 00 over 24 &7/8" scale is also 2 & 5/16"
I also have two 12 fret Eastmans: a size "0" (E20-P) and a "00" (E40-00) both have 1 & 13/16", short scale and 2 & 5/16" SS.
This is the appropriate Martin style geometry for original Martin designs, and ideal for fingerstyle.
