The 24” scale length is really tight on the A chord, but it just forces me to be very accurate when transitioning to this chord. Never noticed much of a difference with barre chords between a 1-3/4 and 1-11/16 nut width. However, I find a shorter scale length makes barre chords much easier due to the reduced string tension. I briefly owned a Taylor Big Baby and the narrower spacing and I never really got along in flat picking or finger picking. This is probably due to me learning on a wider nut and never really taking the time to get used to the new spacing. I ended up selling that guitar after 2 months for the DJr.
