Electric Tenor Guitar Nut Width
What is considered a "standard" nut width for an electric tenor guitar (~23" scale)?
Also, does anyone know what the nut width was for the old Gibson SG tenors?...
It looks like Earnest uses 1 1/8" on most of his, while the Eastwood Warren Ellis Tenor has a nut width of 1 5/16" (which I've heard people call excessively wide).

I just found an old link to a beautiful white '67 SG Tenor that Elderly once had for sale. (I'm pretty sure this one now belongs to Neko Case!) Magnificent instrument!
Looks like these had a nut width of 1 1/4".

I think 1 1/4" was standard for most Gibson tenors electric or acoustic.
