A very narrow nut

1 & 3/4" is pretty average now, although not for 12 fret smaller guitars, but as this is an electric, or electro, it is aimed at strummers, so, they don't want wider fretboards.

The ad says 1/34” not 1 3/4”. It’s quite a difference. I know it’s a typo, it struck me funny.

Why yes, 1/34TH (.0294117) would indeed be a bit narrow and, I suspect, rather difficult to play.

Me too! All I could think of was some gnome trying to play it and having a hard time doing so.
