Nick,
I cant comment on the radius (I would guess its 10")
But the nut width is 1 23/32"

Weir's looks like a stock MC400 or MC500 (can't tell if it's arched). He definitely played it on 6/4/78. Jerry's was definitely a non-stock model. Not sure of the date he played it.
Stock MC's are 24-frets with a 24.75" scale.

JS,
I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
The MC series came out in 77
Reconstruction (1979) JG was playing an mc400 as stated was modded or custom ordered but the elements of the 400 are there
BW was playing a mc400 at redrocks 7-77

All of his Ibanez guitars that looked like an "Artist" or "Professional" or "Cowboy" were customized. I can't say that about the Musician.
Weir played a Musician very few times and there are very few pictures of him playing that guitar. In all of the pics, I cannot see that the Musician has been modded. If I'm missing something or you have some other definitive information, please share.
