Good quality but too narrow.
The standard nut width for Strats/Teles is either 42mm (Squires, Mexican, Japanese) or 42.8mm (USA). Almost all Asian-made Fender-style necks will have the 42mm width.

So unless you go for a custom build, you aren't going to find anything significantly wider.

Just persevere and you'll get used to it.
