Not interested in Classicals.
I know the '08C has a slightly wider nut, and I THINK the Josh White has, but that's all I know. |

I know the '08C has a slightly wider nut, and I THINK the Josh White has, but that's all I know. I used to wonder why I fingered better capo'd up two frets (or more). Besides the action being a little tighter, the spacing is wider....easier for my fat fingers to get around. I got to the point where I was putting on medium lights, tuning down two steps, and capo'd on the second fret. Volume was slightly muted but man could I fingers around. My newest guitar has a 1 3/4" nut, all my others have smaller nuts. The string spacing at the nut is 1/8" difference. Doesn't sound like much, but I can tell the difference when I play. |

Models with wider-than-normal nuts.
