Joined: November 2003 Posts: 56 Location: Edmond, Oklahoma | Apologies. I haven't been to the group in some months, and didn't realize a question had been posted to my remark. -------------------------------------------- Am I happy with the 1-3/4 nut (Folklore LX)? Yes! Would I still like a 1-7/8 nut? Yes. This is my undeniable #1 all-around guitar. It's the one that goes with me when I play in public. It's dependable. Sounds great. Since I strum it more than I pick it (or even occassionally fingerpick), I'm sure it's better for me being 1-3/4". However, if I wanted an almost-full-time fingerstyle guitar, I believe 1-7/8" would be better. | ||

Joined: April 2008 Posts: 2985 Location: Sydney, Australia | The Adamas 1680 (along with the UTE and 08C) is a 1 3/4". I think there were some other adamas models made with a 1 3/4" nut as special orders or variations such as Adamas 1s and 2s that are normally narrow neckers. I could be wrong here, but I thought I read somewhere that the folklore/Custom Artist guitars were originally 1 7/8" but newer ones are all 1 3/4". I finger pick and strum and find the 1 3/4" is handy for both, as it just gives me enough clearance to cut down on string buzz caused by an intruding finger. | ||
