Question about neck width

Hi everyone, does anyone with a 6-string model know the nut width or E-to-E string spacing?
I saw in a YouTube video that the 6-string nut width is 46 mm, but that seems hard to believe. Maybe it was measured along the nut because it's fanned, or something like that.
I'm mainly wondering what the actual neck width at the nut is.

Wiring color codes for Paragon Pickups

Does anyone have ANY idea of the wiring codes of the Older Paragon calibrated set of pickups? I have a 2022 Materia+ model, and I want to coil-split it soon, and wherever I have looked, there is 0 info on this.

NGD - GOC Shan in Laguna Seca blue

I was shopping for a headless 7 string, after selling my PRS SE SVN Mark Holcomb (neck was too chunky for me).

I wanted a Strandberg, after regretting selling my Boden OS7 a couple years back. However the price tag and the fact that they’re all made in Indonesia kinda put me off.

GOC seemed attractive with the ergonomic neck shape and price point.
They just happened to have a batch of release of guitars ready to sell and jumped on it.
It arrived within 4 days (China to Singapore), was really surprised how quick it was.

I can say that the neck is better or at least very close to the Endurneck. For me the key point was the neck is much thinner, on par with 90’s Ibanez (I have a PGM from 1994 for reference).

Pickups are fine, but may change them in the future for something with more clarity, perhaps slightly less hot.
Hardware is good, very smooth to turn.

Guitar arrived almost setup, might need some tweaking but nothing egregious.

Would recommend GOC for a decent alternative to Strandberg endurneck. If you prefer a traditional shape, plenty of other options but afaik, only GOC and Strandberg offer ergonomic necks.

Confused about the order process

Some models are in stock, but most of the models have 60 business days shipping time. Do the shipping times ever change? Are they ever in stock? Or are they always built to order? Why are some of the models (7 and 8 string Shan) in stock and others aren't?

I've been looking to get a GOC for a while but I don't want to wait 80+ days (60 business days). I'm wondering if the 6 string models ever be "ready to ship" on the web site or whether they're always built to order in 80+ days.

swapping stock 8 string quad rails with fishman fluences: is it worth it? (for thall)

im a thall enthusiast and recently got interested in the headless market, im looking into buying a GOC vajra+ 8 string and im interested in how the stock ruyi quad rail pups are doing in very low tunings. they will obviously be abysmally muddy without the installment of a coil split, so im mainly asking about the case where i already installed coil split. will it have an unmixable and unfixable mud?

in general, do you guys think its worth it to swap to fishman fluences as a DSP user? i mean wont i be able to manipulate the sound to a point where it will have solid clarity even with quad rails?

please share your thoughts, im an amateur in extended range metal so any advice will be appreciated!

Has anyone tried putting P90s on their GOC?

Ive been really enjoying the punk tones of P90s lately and im wondering how hard it'd be to replace the pick ups with ones if I get a GOC
