Hi all,

I am a bit confused about all the tele neck widths (at nut) ...

So is the Highway 1 - neck nut width the widest ?

The spec suggest that the usa tele is 42.8 mm , and the Highway a full 43 mm nut width ...

But I'd like this confirmed, since this doesn't make a whole lot of sense as to why fender would do this ...

Thanks all,
John.

I really don't know the reasoning for it but are you really gonna notice the difference of .2mm...?

Actually, 2 mm at the nut is very noticable to me ... others may not.

I would just like to know for sure , since my acoustics are wider nut width than typical Martins (i.e. mine is 1 & 12/16 inch nut vs the standard dreadnought nut of 1 & 11/16 inch ) .

The widest nut width tele would likely sway me in that direction.

Cheers,
John.

but we're not talking 2mm, you said .2mm (42.8mm to 43mm). Thats miniscule to the point of being hard to distinguish on a ruler.

That's a .2 mm difference ... and yes , that's a very small amount ....

Seems funny that fender would have 2 necks this close in nut size between the USA standard & the HWY-1 ... wondering what the logic or reason is for this ? Especially since they're both usa made axes.

My curiosity has gotten the better of me.

John.
