String spacing at the nut and saddle, and neck width
2086126
According to the Cordoba website, nut width is 48mm, string spacing at saddle 55mm, and neck width is not listed. I own an older model of this guitar (2007?) and the neck is probably large U shaped in comparison to other smaller size guitars that I tried out like the baby Taylor; but far more comfortable to me, which is one of the reasons I purchased this guitar.

I agree that the hardware is not meant to accommodate nylon strings. My ovation plays really nice with steel strings! I like it a lot! I have a nylon string classical guitar. The tuners are different.

I use it for a 4-string but there is plenty of width for the slightly wider neck as well as the larger headstock of a 5 - string.

I believe it is in reference to the fret board width or nut width. Typically 1 3/4 inches or wider as compared to 1 11/16 width. Also the string spacing might be a bit wider as it descends down the neck to the bridge. Important to a few and easily adaptable to most.

If the tailpiece end of the saddle is like a les Paul were the strings go through it will fit.

Depends on what you mean by fat fingers. The spacing on this guitar is pretty much standard run of the mill spacing, not especially close, but not as wide as say, a classic nylon guitar. But all you have to do is look at someone like Roy Clark who did pretty well on a standard Gibson neck with his fat fingers. Just gotta try it and see. Just be sure and check the return policy before you put any money down.

Using a peg in every hole of the MS loom makes about a 3/8 inch space between pegs (space meaning from center of the peg to center of the next peg). The spacing between the pegs is 7/16" on the KB Knitting Boards. The spacing varies on the Knifty Knitter depending on the color.

So, I had to look up what part the "nut" is....It measures 1 and 3/4 inches across. Then, going down the neck to where the body connects, measures 2 and 1/4 inches. Hope this helps!

The nut width (width at the 1st fret) I believe is 1.8 inches. I also have somewhat short and chubby fingers. This guitar will be easier to play with the wider width.

No problem at all. It's fan-braced (three fans) and totally symmetrical inside. Because it's for nylon strings and they are all similar diameter, I doubt you would even need to recut the nut as you would for a steel string guitar. Go for it!

I hope you hear from someone more of an authority on this matter than myself, but I believe that you might be right. I once owned a Martin 00-18 classical and the spacing might have been a bit wider, but then again, I feel that the nut might also have been a bit wider on the Martin. I certainly may be wrong. The Yamaha is a nice instrument and I look forward to playing with it more; the guitar is not my MAIN instrument. Keyboards are. Hope that someone else responds to your question. Good luck and best wishes!! William

The handle detached from the tool, so I had to buy another one from a local hardware store. Sorry don't remember the spacing.

There is a chart right at the top of this page. It could not be simpler. Just look up you uke's length. You have 3 choices in lengths.

I have and old twelve string with strip tuning pegs that I replaced with these. I had to bore the holes slightly bigger, but they worked out nicely. I was slightly nervous the spacing would not work out but it was fine.

The saddle will probably fit fine, the nut on the other hand is only 43mm. You can double check your guitar, but that has been too narrow for the acoustics I have worked with. HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD NOT ORDER THESE AS THEY ARE JUST MOLDED PLASTIC PARTS, AND YOU CAN FIND QUALITY BONE SADDLES AND NUTS FOR THE SAME PRICE. FOR THE SAKE OF TONE, look elsewhere :-)

This is a good question. I *may* try to find out for myself. As one responder said, the strings will be floppy. One solution is to change the strings! Fatter strings will allow the instrument to be tuned lower while maintaining proper tension. The problems are two: (1) You have to use the right strings. If the strings are too heavy, the instrument can be ripped apart. There are string tension calculators that can help. (2) Can the instrument accommodate fatter strings? The bridge slots will likely have to be widened. Same for the nut.I'm not sure how good it will sound on the bass end. Also, intonation can be a problem. Still... This is a good question.

You might be confusing this with the 110? Anyway, I have several classical guitars and the string spacing seems normal to me. I would add that the whole feel of the neck is just exactly what I'd expect from a normal classical guitar. I would add that it sounds different, but great. I love mine.
