I've personally seen JF30-12s from that particular period with both 1-13/16" and 1-7/8" wide nuts.
With the way that Guilds were manufactured a difference of 1/16" at the nut between two instruments of the same model would be nothing unusual.
Chazmo said:Not to make it even more confusing, but my my '92 is actually 1-27/32" (i.e., it's in the middle). I'm not lyin'; I've measured it with my ruler and my caliper.
Hello Chazmo,
No, that doesn't make it more confusing. What I actually tried to say in my posting is that even though the specs. for that particular period called for a 1-13/16" wide nut, some necks did get less additional sanding after they were shaped on the machine. That could mean that the final width of the neck ended up being 1-7/8" at the nut. In that scenario a neck with a 1-27/32" wide nut would obviously be a possibility as well; and, within reason, all the variables that you can think of. After all we're 'Talking Guild'.
Sincerely,
Hans Moust
