Good point. Far as I know, Gibson has the slightly wider nut, though.

[Edit:] Of the traditional 2 that is. Not sure what other brands have, though I suspect Fender leaned toward the narrowest for today's production models.

Don't sweat it, Crossbow, you'll get used to it and adapt. Hendrix had giant fingers (well could span an octave or something like that from index to pinky), yet he managed ok :)
