Don't think I ever realized they had a 1-3/4 nut, always loved 'em as a member of my beloved "F40 family", but yeah that's a tad too wide for me too, and my pipe dream is still an F40 body with a shortscale, probably flatback, in rosewood. Basically a shortscale F47R.
When Doyle became a Guild endorser again last year, I hoped (still do) it would herald the return of the real F40 body.
Good luck with the sale buddy, it's gorgeous and that top looks AAA all the way. Nice tight grain and perfectly consistent silking and color.
