help with nut widths

[man-in-moon]

i'm putting a new nut on my tele and am not sure what size to get i'm used to either being something like 1 11/16" or 1 5/8" but on fenders website it says the nut width is 1.6875" so which one would that be?

This clearly belongs in the guitar shop

But I´ll still give you a quick Math refresher:

1/16" = 1 divided by 16, in decimals 0,0625

1" = 16/16", no math necessary...

but the fraction: .6875 , divided by 0,0625, equals 11

1 11/16 is what Fender uses

This is exactly why we should have gone metric back in the seventies!
