Taylor Nut Width?
« on: January 26, 2012, 12:08:54 PM »
After spending about a half hour on Taylor's website and a lot of time drooling over the latest Wood & Steel, I can't find out what the nut widths, or any fretboard specs, are on the various models.  Are they all the same, and if so, what are these numbers? (like, radius, width at the nut and elsewhere,  shape of the back of the neck, thickness----yes I know it varies-----etc.)

Thanks......

Someone else mentioned that as a suggestion to improve their website. I think 1 3/4" is their standard but you can also order a 1 11/16" instead free of charge.

I'm sure others will chime in...

Most of the Taylors nut widths that I have owned, seen, and/or played fall into the following catagories:

6-string 300 series and up - 1 3/4"
6-string 200 series and down (including babys) - 1 11/16"
12- string all series - 1 7/8"
Nylon (NS) series - 1 7/8"

I have played a couple of GCs and at least one GA 6-string that had 1 7/8" nuts but I'm pretty sure that these were special ordered.

I don't know about fretboard radius...

I believe us Taylor nuts come in a wide variety of widths. Heights and weights, too.
