I picked up nut bone nut & saddle blanks for my GF-25, I've been wanting to replace the plastic for some time now.
I would like a little more space at the nut for my fat fingered playing style (I use the term "style" loosely). I've played lots of OM & vintage-type guitars, & like a 1-3/4 inch wide neck-at-the-nut.
I figure that if I squeeze out the string spacing a 32nd of an inch on the high & low E-stings, I might get a little more wiggle room. (I've heard of this mod being performed in skinny-necked Rick 12 strings).
Has anybody else tried this? What pitfalls might I expect? I am a bit worried about the nut being a little weak on the sides.
