mojogood Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 When looking online at J-50s from the 1950s, folks say the nut width is 1 11/16". Did they make any J-50s with a 1 23/32" nut, or are the nuts the same width as the J-45s made in the same year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 My '57 is 1 11/16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyd Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Squinting at my tape measure…. looks like my 1965 J-50 is 1 11/16". But my 2008 J-50 appears to be 1 23/32" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I 11/16" became the standard in 1947 and remained so until 1965. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I 11/16" became the standard in 1947 and remained so until 1965. My experience as well. However, it bears checking the nut width on any Gibson acoustic after about 1962. I've run across a few that seem to be slightly narrower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
