String Spacing on Resonators

Just curious of the string spacing on resonator guitars.

I have the Regal RD-45, and it's 5/16 at the nut and 7/16 at the bridge.

What seems to be the most common spacing among the different manufacturers?

Thanks!

Jeff,

That's the spacing on my OMI D60 Dobro.

Same with my Crafters Virginian...

Jeff,

Upon rechecking, the spacing at the nut on my 1990 OMI D60 is closer to 11/32.

My National tricone is 3/8" at the nut and 7/16" at the saddle.
