I can't seem to find any info on the string spacing on the Larrivee 00 and 000's.  The spacing is 2-3/16
on my OM's and I recently got an old all-hog Harmony that is 2-1/4 at the saddle.  You wouldn't think but that
extra 1/16" makes a noticeable difference (at least to me) - the extra space is welcome.

Larrivee doesn't list the string spacing on their site.  I hoping someone fortunate to have an 00 or 000
would be kind enough to measure it.

Thanks much!

I don't have any info on the 00 or 000 string spacing but certainly agree that 1/16" is noticeable. When I switch from a 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" my fingers can tell the difference quite easily.

I put a metal rule to my 00-60 this morning.
She reads 2-1/4 at the saddle

Same on the 000-50, 2 1/4 at the saddle.

Gracias fellas.  Or not since that means I have good reason to buy one now ;)
Ducktrapper must have the ultra-mini-00 - measures 1/2" on my screen...

Actually. ducktrapper's got a 000...either way, you buy a 00 or a 000, you could find yourself very happy!   :nice guitar:

Ah no! I gave you the spacing for just one string and it's actually 5/8", I believe. I measured it carefully.  :laughin:
