ORIGINAL: Anders Eliasson quote:
gipsy king cordoba nut=50.5 mm, string space=41.5 mm (yes it is skinny and sucks) Hermanos Sanchis lopez nut=52mm space 42.5 mm (not so hot either) Hauser II nut=52mm, spacing 45mm exact. (nice feel) Conde nut= 53 mm spacing 45.5 mm. (perfect feel). Make a new nut with wider spacing for the Hermanos Sanchiz lopez. And thats it. I am actually not complaining. I did that for a student and it really helped as it was his only guitar. I like that each guitar feels a bit different down there. The spacing is no biggie for me. I find it amusing that this small detail seems to be making the difference between high grade and lower grade guitars, it's silly. ALL guitars should be wider spaced, its like some little secrete to make a concert guitar feel like you are paying for something more. I admit on ALL my guitars I slide the nut slightly toward the basses as I tend to yank the first string off the fingerboard when doing fast runs up the first string. I almost never push the bass E off the neck.
