    Default 5 string nut width

    Hi Guys,
    I’m thinking of building a 5-string electric- I was wondering what is a popular dimension for the width of the neck at the nut? Also what kind of string spacing at the bridge?
    Any advice would greatly appreciated.
    Cheers Gary

    I usually do 5 strings with a nut width of 33-34mm and 11mm spacing at the bridge.
    Have Fun!
