If a mandolin has the standard nut or the wide nut, are the different nuts used on identical necks?

I'm not 100% sure I understand your question, but I think I know what you are asking.
The neck on the mando will be shaped and size to whatever nut width it was desinged for. A "wide" nut mando will not have the same neck as the "standard" width. The neck width will match the nut width. Is that what you were after, or something else? Rick A few too many ! |

Yes, that's what I was trying to get at. I had a feeling that the neck would also be slightly wider for the wider nut.
Thanks. |

Beal, Rick is right on, in fact Collings sent me a nut for a 1-1/8 neck instead of my 1-3/16, and yes the nut was too short.
FWIW: When I ordered the mando, I also had the V in the 1-3/16 neck rounded a bit. It works great. Tom |
