I just went through several pages on the website - and found no information regarding nut width, saddle spacing, scale length or any body dimensions. Since most of us aren't very familiar with these instruments, that information may go a long way to help you sale.

Do you have any idea what the nut width is?

Hi, do you know the nut width? I see some are 43mm, but it would be good to know.

The serial number defines the nut width, among other info.


Nut Width

18011014VEMRCSB4AHLX

The next number after the string of characters signify the nut width. For ukuleles made earlier than 2017, 2 signifies 36mm. For guitars made earlier than 2018, 4 signifies 45mm nut width. Starting January 2018, all guitars that are still in production will have a 44mm nut width unless specified.Below are the list of nut widths available:

Took a picture of the nut and unless my eyes aren't working it looks 1 11/16th to me which should be roughly 43mm.

Also added a finger style sound clip with an SM81 going into a Zoom.

Default Maestro

This guitars are ridiculously great. I’ve got two. Both as good or better than my Collings, Martins, and custom shop Gibsons. And for the price... they’re Insane

They SMOKE high end Taylors btw. That’s the spot in my line up they hold. I happily traded a builders edition Koa Taylor for my first maestro. My second, an adi/cocobolo knockout that would’ve cost ~6 k from Taylor or 7+ Lowden etc, was 3k from Maestro. Not to be confused with the awful Gibson Maestro line. These Singapore builds are gorgeous

I was seriously considering this but I just can't get my head around sunburst tops...although this one is really well done. After Bear promised me that I could not convince him to sell the natural top behind this one in the pic, I set about looking.

I just scored a natural top one with the same wood combinations which just arrived today. First impression....whoa. This is a very high quality instrument. The insides are perfection and other than just a few minor concerns, it is a very good build. And it sounds spectacular. Have not had a chance to really dig in yet, but it sounds just lovely so far to me.

So, if you are on the fence on this one...just wanted to pass along my quick thoughts about the one I picked up. I think this will be a name that catches some great recognition at this price point.
