45mm nut

Nitebob

I got quite nostalgic a recently. I had a 12 String Ibanez which I played as a six string. The wide neck with the jumbo body just seemed to do it for my style. For some reason I sold that and got kept the 6 string Cort dreadnought, with the 43mm nut width. Now I'm missing the wider neck.

Are there any 6 string guitars out there with this neck width? Except for classical of course. Seemed to find quite a few classicals, but that's not what I'm looking for. Even looked at buying a AEL2012E again, but they are quite steep and the electronics on those are horrid...

Advice please peoples... ?

How about a Takamine? I saw one w/ 46mm nut. Not cheep, but I've seen a few Tak 12 strings around 4-5k 2nd hand...and they're always mint!

Thought about TAK as well but their webs don't show the nut width...

I'll keep a look out for a 12-string. Thx V8

Ahh, I saw the specs on musiciansfriend (in inches) - though what MF publishes as a spec and what the manufacturers website publishes don't always equate - Noticed when I was shopping around for a bass earlier in the year.

I've got a Takamine 2005 Limited edition that has a 45mm nut width.
I'm not sure if I am allowed to mention it here, but I seldom play this guitar and I'm interested in selling it.

I'm afraid this is a premium Japanese guitar and also falls into the "not cheap" category.
