Can anyone measure the string spacing at the nut and bridge on their Silhouette Special for me? I don't have the original nut, and I have a choice of what bridge to replace the old Wilkinson, which is also....not there.

Bridge:
string center to string center: 0.425" (10.8 mm)
low E to high E: 2 1/8" (54 mm)

I'll get the calipers out and measure the nut spacing later today. That said, the nominal neck width at the nut is 1 5/8" (41.3 mm) which is vintage Fender spec, so any nut for that width will work fine.
