Neck and Nut Dimensions

[bigolsparky]

I am sure this has been asked and answered too many times, but is there any information on Hamer neck dimensions and nut widths? Particularly Specials, Studios and Sunbursts.  What are the girthier models?

I'm kinda curious about this as well...funny thing is, is that I was just thinking about neck sizes today, and wondering WHY the hell Gibson shrank electric guitar nut and neck widths in the mid-60's, and WHY did Hamer ALSO go with the narrower neck in the very early '80's?  I once had a Guild S-60D and a S-300D from the late '70's several years ago (solidbody electrics both), and damned if THEY didn't have the same narrow nut and neck widths that the Hamers had a little later, and that the mid-'60s Gibsons had before.

In case anyone's not sure, I absolutely HATE those narrow necks.    Sorry for the sidetrack/rant.

Perhaps asked and never answered?

Send all your narrow neck guitars to me to dispose of properly.

My favorite guitar has a nut width of 1.52"

My favorite guitar has a nut width of 1 11/16" or 1.6875".

Here's my '94 Studio. My favorite size and about the same on my '95 Studio and both Artists. Nut width of 1 11/16"

That's exactly what I was looking for.  1 11/16 is not a skinny neck, more of a good handful.

The only time I like a skinny neck is when it's about 2 feet above a tight butt.
