12 string nut spacings for strings
I have what I think is a very simple question. I have a 12-string Hofner. I have to make a new nut for it and I do not have the old one. The neck dimension is 1.775". What is the correct spacing between the strings, and how far in from the edge do I start the grooves?
THANKS!!

Re: i wanna make a guitar
As for the cost of a guitar, if you can make the bridge yourself (wich isn't that hard) and maybe even the pickups, and fingd the wood for it scrap you can make a guitar for pretty cheap; my first bas only cost me $80
