J-185 Fingerboard width and Bridge string spacing - technical question


Bullfrog J-185

Recommended Posts

Dear Forum Members:

 

Does any one know or know who I would ask to find out the following on my 1999 Gibson J-185 guitar.

 

- What is the Fingerboard width at the 12th fret i.e. 2 2/16" (2 1/8"); or 2 3/16"; or 2 4/16" (2 1/4)? or something else?

 

- What is the Bridge string spacing; i.e. 2 2/16" (2 1/8"); or 2 3/16"; or 2 4/16" (2 1/4)? or something else?

 

I think but don't know for certain that the finger board width at nut for the J-185 is the Gibson standard: 1 23/32".

 

The reason I'm asking is I'm saving up to buy a custom Martin 000-28 and the Gibson neck is perfect for my hand size. Hopefully Martin can build a neck like the J-185.

 

If anyone has any information on this I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks
