J & D ST II White

I researched this carefully. There are myriad stratocaster copies on the market, but this was the only one specifying a nut width greater than the standard 42mm - which might be OK for Eric Clapton, but in my experience it puts the strings too close together either for a learner or for anyone with bigger than average fingers. The spec for this J & D ST2 clearly specified 42.8mm nut width, which is why I chose it. So I was pretty peeved that what arrived had a nut width of 41.7mm.
All set to return it, I tuned it up and plugged it in out of curiosity. Sound was way, way above what I was expecting. Best I've heard from a budget strat, and nowhere near the usual level of hum. Plus the finish is pretty well immaculate and the fretting is as perfect as anything you'd get on a £500 plus job. No sharp ends, no unevenness. So now I've got a problem. Getting a key detail like nut-width wrong in the spec deserves an immediate return. But I so like this guitar that I'm probably going to have to keep it and, at great expense, fit a new neck. And if you've ever done that you'll know it's an appallingly fraught business, roughly as stressful as moving house. So, yet to make the final decision.....
