I had given up on the new imported Guilds because of the 42mm nut width. Then this morning I was looking at a Starfire III for sale by Street Sounds. Dang - the specs on the width at the nut was listed as 1-11/16". OK so I went to the Cordoba/Guild site and guess what? Yup nut width at 1-11/16"". I am so stoked I almost peed my pants. I had a SF III from 2003 and it had one of the sweetest (1-11/16" nut) necks but for some stoopid reason I sold it.
I am planning to make a call to verify this but I am pretty sure this discovery just cost me close to a grand. Now if they would just reissue the X-170T in flame orange with the 1-11/16" nut for around $1,500-$1,600 I would own (2) Guild electrics.
Anyone else confirm the new nut width?
