Warmoth standard nut slot widths

[Johnnyfi0718]

What gauge strings are the nuts cut for? I use 10-52s on all my guitars, and the nut seems to catch the strings a lot. I ended up filing it out quite a bit.

I don't know about tight for 10s - maybe a bit - but they're definitely too shallow for the vast majority of users, and deliberately so. This is to allow for setup, as being virgin necks they can't predict what strings are going to be installed. The slots always need to be finessed a bit.
