About 35 and 42 mm. Or whatever feels right. My vintage Kumalae is 33 / 46, but that's a bit extreme I think.

I use 36mm at the nut unless someone asks otherwise. 40mm - 42mm string spacing at the saddle. Depends on how I'm feeling on the day I make the neck.

I just got out my old Martin style "0".....Measured the width of neck at the nut = 1 7/16" (36mm) and the 12th fret at 1 7/8" (46mm)...String spacing at the nut = 1 7/32" (30.5mm) and at the bridge saddle 1 21/32" (42.5mm) hope this helps

I once played a gorgeous Japanese concert with almost no taper at all. Looked strange, felt good and sounded great. Couldn't remember the brand to save my life though.
