Are there any 7's that have a 2" (50.4mm) nut?

p4vl · 05-26-2008, 02:08 PM

I have a hard time with guitars that have 1 5/8" nut width, and while I haven't tried every 7 string out there, the ones I've tried seem to have the same distance between strings that 1 5/8" nut guitars have. I noticed that Warmoth offers a 2" locking nut, but does anyone (other than Warmoth, or custom shops) actually make a guitar that uses it?

FWIW, i believe that most trem-equipped 7's have 1 7/8" nuts.

I think the ESP F-series Sanskrit 7 had a 50mm nut.

According to this list too: bmusic Australia Discussion :: View topic - 2006 ESP Neck Specifications

I also prefer wider nuts, mostly because I've played classical guitar for so long. I think the nut on my acoustic is 54mm. On very narrow nuts, the strings are too close together, and I can't finger chords very well.
