for nut width? A lot of manufacturers use decimals instead of fractions for nut width. I wanted to find out what nut width I prefer using, 1 5/8ths or 1 11/16ths based on the guitars I've owned or tried in the past. For example my parker nitefly is 1.68quot; I don't know what that ends up equaling in fractions. I suck at math.

According to the Windows calculator, 5/8 is .625 and 11/16 is .6875...

Hehe, no worries. I couldnt do it in my head either....

so how do we get it to go back the other way? Long division?

I'd like it if Warmoth did their neck back dimensions in standard. Plus Ibanez goes METRIC on their nut sizes!

I think they need to simplify it for us players. Make 1 5/8 = A, 1 11/16 = B, etc...

they actually did that at the fender factory in the '60s.
