19mm? Well I used a metric ruler, but truth be told I only measured from the edge of 1 string to another and those little lines are very difficult to see.

The measurement is taken as always from center to center of the notch of the string or the diameter of the string itself, not between the strings. The distance between strings will diminish as you measure between the thicker strings but the center-to-center measurements stay the same of cut evenly.
