I don't remember the nut widths off the top of my head, but the medium is the profile from the burst specs. The thinner one I based off a strat that I like, and the wider one is for a guitar I built for slide where I like a little more space between strings. As far as neck thickness, I like them about 3/4" thick but with no "shoulders," so the neck feels smaller than it actually is. On my 58RI the neck is about 1" thick, but has huge "shoulders" on it so it feels big too.
