Hi Jack...
To me that's like suggesting the intonation on a given string is only .063 of a semi-tone flat and doesn't need to be corrected, and asking "...will it make that much of a difference?" It would to my ears!

I feel different string spacing on necks. It is not that I cannot adapt, I elect not to for my own instruments. In fact for me it would be a deal breaker if I found a guitar that sounded fabulous but had a nut narrower than 1 3/4'' and the saddle were narrower than 2 1/4''. I want to spend my time playing music not wrestling with a guitar neck...
