    It is a bolt on neck, should have stated that.

    I believe the nut width to be 1 3/4 inch. Might have to see if I can get specs , I never asked. A real playable shorter scale 5er with lighter strings.

    I guess it's more D, but really don't know for sure if it's either. Very flat radius to the fret board, the neck is somewhat thin front to back but feels nice.

    Not at this point. I'm losing enough to feel it's priced ok.

    super low, pristine. Never been gigged, was just a fun purchase. If I sell 2 of my others first, I'll keep this.

    It's light, i would guess ash, there is some grain you can see through the finish on back.
