This size is common across many electric guitars and offers a comfortable balance for most players.

For 7-string kits the nut width is 45 mm or 48 mm.

What is the Nut Width for 4-String Bass Kits?

For 4-string bass kits the nut width is ~41 mm (1.61").

What is the Nut Width for 5-String Bass Kits?

For 5-string bass kits the nut width is ~45 mm (1.77").

What is the Nut Width for 6-String Bass Kits?

For 6-string bass kits the nut width is ~56 mm (2.2").

Can Nut Width Vary Slightly Between Kits?

Yes. As with all woodworking, there can be a tolerance of 0.1–0.3 mm. This does not affect playability, and every neck is produced to properly fit its matching body

Can I Request a Custom Nut Width?

Yes! If you’re looking for a specific nut size or neck profile, you can order through our Custom Shop. For example:

• Wider nut width for extended range guitars.
• Chunkier necks (like “Fat/Wide” profiles with ~1” thickness at the nut).

Summary

• Most 6-string guitar kits = 42 mm nut width.
• Most 7-string guitar kits = 45 mm nut width.
• Most 4-string bass kits = 40 mm nut width.
• Minor tolerance (0.1–0.3 mm) is normal due to woodwork.
• For specific requests, check product specs or order via the Custom Shop.
