Can one fit a G nib to the x750?

Not certain what you mean by G nib, but I am a newb. Goulet nibs fit perfectly!

If he meant Zebra G it's a dip nib.

Which may be a hit-or-miss in terms of fitting depending on the shape of the feed (due to manufacturing variation, not all of them are identical).

I know they fit fine into a Noodler's Ahab... once you shave the sides of the feed off to allow the more rounded shape to fit.

I know some people have fitted one in a X750/X450/159, but like I said it depends on your luck on getting one just the right shape of feed/section.

I was not aware. Thank you for the correction! I am still learning and should have just kept silent.

Ohhhhhh wow. I wish you hadn't posted that. (You're getting me back for posting those links to John Neal and Paper Ink Arts, aren't you?) I have an extra Ahab feed kicking around, and a few G nibs... and now I may need to buy a pen to put them in. I'm NOT SUPPOSED TO BUY ANYTHING THIS MONTH... *sigh*
