I would like to ask all you 12 strummers to measure your Head Nutwidth on your 12 string and let me know what you come up with. I have a custom Legend with a Nutwidth of 1 7/8 but the speces say 1 11/16. Talked to an Ovation Rep today and he told me that Ovation 12 strings only come with a 1 7/8 and that the specs on the Ovation site must be wrong. I would be very curious as to what you have on yours ?

My 6759 is 1-7/8". I checked the specs for the 6759 on the Ovation website and it said 1-7/8". But in the archive, the specs for the 1759 do say 1-11/16". Must be a typo.

twelve string is 1 7/8
six string is 1 11/16

Of course the sixes should change to 1 3/4 but that's another discussion.

Maybe so but I'm not going to fret about it.

While I'm trying to irritate Nils and this string has met a happy conclusion:

Just watched the Presidential debate.

I'm writing in Standingovation - Dave!

Can you imagine what the White House walls will look like in his administration?
