And I believe the Josh White model had a 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" nut, very close to the Country Artist nylon string nut. So it LOOKS close, but not quite 'white.' (Bad pun) :rolleyes: | ||

It's a Folklore (look at bridge) that someone changed the tuners so they could use nylon strings!(look at bridge,again) Some unknowing folks see a slothead guitar and automatically think it's a nylon stringed classical....... :rolleyes: | ||

Joined: July 2004 Posts: 338 Location: Omaha | Sorry - now I'm the one who's feeling old (and blind). I was only seeing the reflective part of the post - which looked thin; I totally missed the wide wraps on the wound strings). I stand humbled and corrected (nothing new for a married guy with four kids...). :rolleyes: | ||
