How wide is the neck on that thing? All the web pages say it has a wider neck but don't give any numbers.

The one we had was 1 1/8" measured outsides of the binding up against the nut. All of the other modern Gibson's I've measured including our MM are 1 1/16". The Bush neck is also deeper and proportionally wider up the neck. 1/16" doesn't seem like much but it is on a mandolin neck.
I've never actually had a Bush model to play but I recently tried two mandolins out. #One had 1 1/8 and the other 1 3/16. #The 1 3/16 seemed HUGE! #Too big for me.
Thanks everybody.
