Warmoth's 1-3/4" nut string spacing

[Ghostnote]

Does anyone know? Particularly on their strat necks.

Never measured, but it is bigger.  Like riding down a nice fat highway with the top down, and 1 7/8 is even roomier.  Good if you have fat fingers or originally learned on a classic.

Thanks Rick. This is a dumb question; but I assume the 1-3/4" string spacing is noticeably more spread out than their 1-11/16" yeah?

Yes. I never get Warmoth nuts, so I can't give exact measurements, but there is a certain ratio that gets wider as the nut width increase.

You can pretty much have the string spacing anywhere you want it if you cut your own nut (or have someone else do it). Some folks (myself included) like a wider neck with narrower string spacing, so the end strings are farther away from the edge of the fretboard. Warren DeMartini did this to the extreme, except with a 1-7/8" wide nut...
