Mitjovan Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Hey! I`m interested in 1-5/8" (41.3mm) nut width for electric guitar, and also i found it mostly on Music man guitars, which all have smaller necks than Fender, Ibanez and so on... Is it possible to make a small neck, lets say 1-5/8" and 2-1/4" at last fret (similar as MM Axis) and make matching size headstock for 6 in line tuners, cause all Music man have 4-2 tuner configuration. I am afraid that if i make that small neck that the proportional sized headstock will be to small for 6 in line tuner configuration. I`m sorry, i am beginner, and i did not consult my local luthier for that matter... Edit 25 1/2" (64.8cm) scale and 10" (25.4cm) radius Edited February 11, 2008 by Mitjovan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 A typical nut is 1-11/16" so 1-5/8" is only 1/16" narrower... not much really. Therefore, you'd only have to adjust the width of your headstock at the nut just a little bit. No big deal. -Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
