Location: CA | How wide is the nut on an Ovation/Adamas 12-string? And what 6 string Os (with steel strings) came with wider nuts? (I know the nylon string ones do.) Thanks! |

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA | Hello, Everyone,
Correct me if I'm wrong here, please, but didn't all of the now discontinued Ovation Folklore models, i.e., both steel and nylon 6-string guitars, ("Twin Sons of Different Mothers" , and the Limited Edition 2016 50th Anniversary Folklore Deluxe also have a specified nut width of 1 7/8"? I'm just thinking out loud on this one.

Location: NW Washington State | To round out Mike S's list of models with 1-7/8" nut:
Josh White was K-1114, then became Folklore 1114 or 1614 with pickup.
Nylon string 1124/1624, mid (or artist?) depth.
Folklore 6774 with cutaway.
Folklore Deluxe FD-14
Seems like something is still missing, maybe the parlor guitar, but I'm a solidbody kinda guy...

http://ovationtribute.com/Catalogues/Josh%20White%20Brochure/Josh%20White%20Brochure.html
1 7/8" According to the 1967 Josh White brochure, it's 2". Yet, according to the 1968 JW brochure, it's 1-7/8". I also checked the 1969 catalog and The JW is listed as having a 1-7/8" neck. So, this begs the quetion, was the 1967 JW the only one to have a 2" neck, or was that a typo?

I do remember something about a wider nut on a parlor but can't quite place it. Maybe it was a custom one-off guitar, or perhaps a 12 string version which may have been a custom guitar?
There was the 1997 Collector's edition, and then I believe a non-collector's edition offered in 1998. On my 1997 Collector's edition the nut is the standard width, and the neck is very slim, making the nut seem even smaller.

Location: northern Georgia | My Folklore 1114 from the early 70s has a 1 7/8" nut. The nut on my 1763 nylon string classical (early 90s) is 2". |
