Location: Texas		Hey everyone,

Would anyone happen to know the nut size on this guitar, I've looked all over the net, but no-one
mentions the actual nut size.

Thanks a lot !

It should be 1 7/8 inches.
Because that is what the 1773LX was, and this is a Korean copy of that guitar.



But yeah... I looked at a coupla dozen listings and specs, and nobody states the nut width.
The http://www.ovationguitars.com/ site is down, but they probably won't have it either.

Strange, and disappointing.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Ooo! Ooo! I found one! HERE
And they say:

Description
Solid AA-Grade Cedar top
Center soundhole
Mid-depth Lyrachord® GS body
Five-part Mahogany/Maple neck
Rosewood fingerboard, Walnut bridge
Scale 642 mm, nut width 48 mm
Pearl Oak Leaf rosette
Off-white body binding, multi-part purflings
Diecast Ovation machine heads, gold with soft touch buttons
OCP-1K Pickup, OP-Pro Preamp with tuner
With case

And 48mm = 1 7/8" or there abouts.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		STOP! Hold it right there...
Now the Ovation website is working.
The current listing claims 1 11/16" (43mm) nut width. HERE
So contact the seller, and ask them to measure it.
But all of the 1773's and 1774 (steel string cutaway Folklore) were 1 7/8".
Even the Celebrity CC059 is 1 7/8".

Sorry I could not be of more help.
(it still should be 1 7/8")

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		I was informed by Damon (Damon67) that it is 1 7/8", so that should be the definitive answer.
