Yes, there was, both righty and lefty:

I missed those, but the 1-1/2" nut width might have kept me away. Anything less than 1-5/8 feels too crowded to me. Still, I'd probably buy one and deal with that compromise.

FWIW, I've used 1 11/16" nuts on 1 5/8" necks, sanding off the overlap on each end. The distance between the E strings and the edge of the neck is 1/4" on an AL-2000 with a 1 5/8" nut and using a 1 11/16" nut brings the E strings 1/16" closer to the edge which is still plenty of room. While the strings would be a little closer to the edge in this case, I don't see why the same couldn't be done with a 1 1/2" neck/1 5/8" nut. My only concern would be neck pocket compatibility, I'll bet the bridges on the short scale Liquids are the same as the full sized ones so no problem at that end...

I love my 1-3/4" nut 24" scale neck.

That was the ultimate reason I chose Musikraft (other than the near unanimous praise for the quality that comes out of their shop)
