I'm not sure how they could have come up with 1 7/8 but they did have a F-2512 hanging there so I wonder if they didn't measure the nut on that one?
The lighting and angle make it look smaller but by my measurement it is 1 11/16, maybe a hair smaller.
The guitar played great, althought I prefer the satin neck on my F30HR. The neck block stamp confirmed the advertised manufacture date of 1998. There is some sort of passive pickup installed but I didn't bring an inspection mirror so I don't know if it's an under-saddle or transducer style.
It was set up with the action quite low, 12th fret Low E was at .08 and the High E was at .05, but there was no string buzz.
I didn't bring a straight edge and it is certainly playable as is but the saddle has been cut low and there is very little break angle on the strings. The guitar will likely need a neck reset in the not so distant future. One other little nit pick...someone used dirty pliers to pull the bridge pins at some point.
