Hopefully they release a vintage style version

If you have an electric sander you can put a towel down on the top of the guitar and turn it on while moving around the guitar. There's a reason old guitars sound great. And I reason why guitars open up. It's from natural aging and from the wood moving. Get that wood moving.

J-45nick first of all this thread is about Gibson. Not Martin. 2nd, you're a clown. That is not why nut widths are wider. We're people fatter in Spain when the 2" nut was around? No. No they were not.

No.... There are various reasons as to why Martin switched to 1 11/16ths after 1939. The one that stands out the most is banjo players were starting to play guitar and they felt more comfortable with a smaller nut width. That's one theory. There are several more. But I've never heard the smaller people theory. Never. The wider nut is more desirable now because there are more people playing fingerstyle and more and more people were ordering 1 3/4 nuts via custom shop. Martin took note of what people were discussing and also decided to go back to its traditional roots.

Just curious what the nut widths have been through the years and when did Gibson switch to 1.725?
