My Schecter has a 1 5/8" width I believe.

Gibson Melody Makers (not usre about the new ones), and some SGs from the late '60s/'70s. Everyone over at everythingsg.com did a check and alot whole lot of the '70s SGs had 1 5/8.

BTW, I'm pretty sure your Nighthawk has it too. I didn't measure, but it feels small.

Yeah it does, feels kinda narrow. I may go 1 11/16 for the warmoth.

Since building my strat, that's become my preferred width. I'm using it on the upcoming guitar I told you about.

I think all but one or two Music Man guitars have 1 5/8ths nut widths. I've seen quite a few G&Ls with that width and even a few high-end Fenders, too.

My G&L has the 1 5/8". I know it's not much smaller than the 1 11/16 on the Dean, but it sure seemed like it at first. Now it's grown on me.

Many older Tele's had the 1 5/8" nut width. I once owned a 90' LP Standard which had the same width @ the nut... Weird...
