Ever picked up a guitar and thought, “This just doesn't feel right?” It might be the nut width, the measurement that directly impacts string spacing and left-hand comfort. In this video, we break down the most common nut widths found in the wild, and look at how the various widths affects chord shapes, lead playing and string separation. We also take a hard look at the 1.625 nut width used on the vast majority of vintage Fender guitars, and why most boutique copies, and even reissues made by Fender now tend to have a wider1.650 nut width.If you've ever wondered why some necks feel cramped and others feel perfect, this deep dive will help you understand what works best for your hands and playing style.To Support the Channel:Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AskZacTip jar: https://paypal.me/AskZacVenmo @AskZac Or check out my store for merch - https://my-store-be0243.creator-spring.com/Support the show

Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 575 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - The Prince of Darkness exits stage left and is this the end of JHS?Richard has lost 25% wisdom and is now at a deficit...he tells us tales of childhood fears and lessons learned before the business of the week is addressed. This turns into a health and weight loss section as our British compatriot has been on the Brian Wampler diet...kind of. Brian meanwhile has been creating new businesses and teases us with the details.The news that Ozzy Osbourne passed his week takes a big focus for the guys as it has affected everyone to different degrees. Richard tells a story of how his friend went drinking with Ozzy how he discovered Black Sabbath - it may involve a certain legendary pub and a small piece of paper. Yes that sort of paper. Will there ever be another Black Sabbath moment in music? We hope so. Brian has become a JCM 800 guy and has eschewed his former Fender amp roots. The UK JHS has announced they are closing - for those that aren't aware they have been one of the UK's biggest distributors of guitar related goodness for about 50 years and Richard laments their demise a little. Finally, a video came out this week from the guys at Working Class Music asking "is Guitar Youtube too white" and so the guys take a little look at this. The magical diet, The Iron horse, The Ultimate Wah pedal, Tracii Guns, BOSS RT-2, Mesa MKII, The Hulkster...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Courses including the ULTIMATE MIDI COURSEhttps://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/Merch and DIY mods:https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastAwesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Contact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Angled pickups on Fender guitars aren't just stylistic—they enhance tone by balancing bass on lower strings and treble on higher strings. This design feature dates back to Leo Fender's original concepts and has been embraced by legends like Van Halen and Hendrix.
