Thanks, Eyedoc, for all the dimensions. Unfortunately, I need a wider nut width. Good luck with the sale, Stephen

Unfortunately I too need a wider nut but it seems like a damn fine instrument. I kind of envy the future proprietor

I bought a Pono guilele 1-1/2 years ago. I actually sought out the nut width these have, because they are perfect for those with a guitar background. These Ponos are comfortable to play, have great workmanship and sound really nice, with spot-on intonation. This is a beautiful instrument. Too bad I'm not still in the market for one. Good luck with your sale.

I have a Mahogany topped Pono Guilele. It's awesome. If I didn't have one I'd jump on this (it's a good price). I also have Koaloha & Cordoba Guileles with 17" scales and wide nuts (48mm I believe). I think the longer scale (20") on my Pono combined with the narrower nut width & the radiused fret board make it comfortable to play.
Thanks for the kudos
I re enjoyed this guitalele, but got a Moonbird travel guitar that I now take on trips instead

Is this still available?
Yes, it's quite sweet an essentially new.
I don't find the nut to thin, and I have many classical guitars with 52 mm nuts.

Hi,
The Pono was sold, but I have a Romero Creations B6 Guitalele that is still available, in my opinion a much nicer sounding instrument,

I‘m fortunate to have Romero B6s & a Pono AB6.
They’re different instruments to me, with different radiuses (20 vs 16), overall lengths & soundboards/woods.
[In case anyone needs to rationalize having multiples of almost the same instruments,
...Having multiple guileles capable of E to E also allows
-working on more than one song without retuning back & forth when alt-tunings are involved
-comparing different brands/models of strings more directly].
