I know you all have real experiences and I can't argue with that. But it really sounds like "the princess and the pea" or Goldilocks stories to me. I play a wide range of stringed instruments and they all have different nut widths, scale lengths, fretboard radius, fret size, body weight, number of frets to the body join, string gage etc. None of these is "just right" for every playing situation, but I easily adapt from one to another multiple times within a performance or practice session.
Maybe its just a guitar phenomenon? I never hear/see fiddle, mandolin, banjo, dobro, upright bass players discuss nut width like we do here.
