Here is a 2018 HD-28 at Maury's Music, an AGF sponsor, and it has a 1 3/4" nut width.
I think the HD-28 or the D-35 are good examples of great folk music guitars. They are great flat picking guitars and great guitars for finger picking as long as a dreadnought fits you well. Many of us have more shoulder problems as we age. I still play my dreadnoughts in spite of shoulder pain.
I have a 1967 Martin D-35 that I have used since I got it new when I turned 21. I used that guitar professionally for many years, and I was essentially a folksinger.
Another great guitar for a folksinger is a Gibson Advanced Jumbo. I have one of those, too.
