<p>i've been torn on this but i'm coming around to the idea that equal center-to-center spacing for both nut <em>and</em> bridge is the way to go. i think looks are less important than playability and our fingers approach the strings towards the centers, not the edges<br></br><br></br>in reality it's probably irrelevant, as in the difference is hard to see <em>or</em> feel, and things like the graduating stewmac spacing rule are useful more for quickly getting a good usable spacing at a given distance…</p>

<p>Thanks Mike,</p>
<p>I found that discussion very interesting. It is nice to know that my measurements weren't off, and that the changes between strings was probably deliberate. On the other hand, I think I will go with the equal spacing.</p>

<p>Curious myself, so went looking and and found this discussion at the UMGF... <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://umgf.com/bridge-string-spacing-question-t86394.html" target="_blank">https://umgf.com/bridge-string-spacing-question-t86394.html</a></p>
<p>Personally, I side with the opinion that Charlie Longstreth arrived-at in that discussion. He likes the incremental spacing for the nut slots but even spacing at the bridge holes. </p>
