depends on the spacing you're shootin' for. I prefer a little wider spacing. I use 1 3/4" at the nut and 3" at the 24th. Do you have the bridge yet? The spacing of the saddles will help determining the measurements.

then all you need is the nut width and spacing, and the rest will follow along that
