Thread: String spacing at nut HELP? 1 3/16

  1. #1

    Default String spacing at nut HELP? 1 3/16

    How would you guys space the strings on a 1 3/16 nut width? I have the Siminoff spacing guide but the F-5 slot does not seem to work on this size nut. Anyway, would I just hold off the binding a 1/16 from the bass and treble side and space the others equally?
    Thanks Gentleman, any help would be appreciated. This is new to me.

    Stewmac sells a string spacing gauge that might help. It is pricey though!
