Neck Nut Width and Nut Slot Spacing #

CategoryNeck Nut Widthe1/E6
Many Fenders from Japan41 mm (1-5/8")approx. 34 mm
Standard42,9 mm (1-11/16")approx. 35 mm
Acoustic analog44,5 mm (1-3/4")35 mm till 37,5 mm
Superwide (Warmoth)48 mm (1-7/8")approx. 40 mm

The real e1 to E6 string spread can be controlled not only through nut width, but also by slot spread in the nut. For example, 44.5 mm wide nut can have e1 to E6 distance between 35 and 37.5 mm.
