I ordered and received a Fernandes tele today (as best I can tell, an FTE70 from the late 70’s: Spaghetti logo, SN 61304). All in all not a bad guitar by any means, but the neck feels painfully small!
The nut width measures to ~39mm/1.5354….inches. That comes up skinny compared to any production Telecaster necks that I’m aware of from Fender.
Does anyone own or know of a comparably late 70’s Fernandes with a nut width closer to the “vintage spec” of 42mm/1.65”?
For instance, my Tokai TE55N has a neck with that vintage spec nut width (or as close as I can measure to it), and I believe what they call the vintage “Deep U” shape.
