Default Switching necks?

Assuming both guitars are from the same maker, the scale length is the same, both are bolt on necks and the only difference is one neck has a 1 3/4 nut and the other has a 1 11/16 nut, can you swap necks

Should I take the saddle size and spacing into account. If yes is sounds like filling in the space and creating a new salddle would do th trick.

I would think there might be some tan lines were the neck meets the body of the wider nut/neck.

.?????

All I can speak to is Taylor, and the 2 sizes are NOT interchangeable with that brand. Something about the base/heel mounting areas being different sizes. Too bad, because I'd love to try a narrower neck on a Taylor or 2. Will watch for any progress you make on this.

I emailed the company to see if the same base/heel issues would prevent the switch.
