String spacing of L6S

[Joe Lizon]

I'm new here. Does anybody know the string spacing of L6S at the nut using .010-.036 strings?

10-36 is an odd choice. 10-46 is a normal electric gauge. 
 

The string spacing at the nut is determined by the nut width of the individual guitar, which can vary quite a bit. A rough rule is to subtract 1/8” from each side, so a 1-11/16” nut would have a 1-7/16” spacing. Other factors could affect that number though. Personal preference, how the frets were tapered when installed, etc.

Welcome Joe!!!

A challenge to find this info; there's plenty on L-6S guitars but we need a current owner for an accurate measurement.

Here's one for sale in the UK, it says the nut width is 1 11/16" (inches).

I had a wine red L-6S Deluxe (my 1st Gibson) and I always felt the neck was too narrow, which is why I stupidly sold it.

Thanks, ksdaddy for your input.

The .010-.036 string set was a brain fart on my part.

Also, thanks to Rene Asologuita for the warm welcome.

I am slowly shaping and grooving the nut on my beloved L6-S.

This is my first attempt at the art and I am enjoying it.
