I concur with the others in that 48mm is the absolute minimum for me on Nylon string guitars, and I’m better on 50mm. I can relax and enjoy when playing a 50mm nut, but am walking on eggshells when playing the 48mm nut.
If you decide to return what you have and are interested in other options, I’d suggest: Córdoba Fusion series, 48mm nut Córdoba GK series, 50mm nut Hope that helps, Gary

Limitations of nut widths.
Having played everything from a Ramirez with a 54mm nut to my Lowden crossover with a 48mm nut, my preference is for something in the 48-50mm range. I have small fingers and find the wide nut makes some stretches challenging, compare this with fingertips contacting adjacent strings with narrower nuts.
My main traditional classical guitar (one I built myself) has a 50mm nut. Nobody has complained that the nut is too narrow, in fact some serious players have have commented on good overall playability. Whilst personal taste plays a part, many steel-string players are used to much narrower nuts and dismiss wider nuts out of hand. It’s worth persevering with a nut width that allows clean playing with typical nylon string diameters and spacing.

There are a lot of crossover guitars made for electric guitar players or people who prefer a slim neck. Look at the Taylor NS series.

Hey guys, little update: the seller wouldn't cover the cost for replacing the tuners and fixing it up, so I sent it back.
Decided to go up to 48mm nut and ordered a used Cordoba Fusion 12.
