Sign in to disble this ad
I was trying to remove the nut so I could sand the bottom and get a little lower action, but in attempting to do so, it broke in several places, and half of it is still stuck in the slot. I think I'll just have to destroy it to get it out, so I need a pre-slotted replacement. The Rondo website says the fretboard radius is 15 3/4" or so, and I'm having trouble finding a nut that's that size. Or does it not matter that much? Can I just use this? http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-A...46-i1133853.gc

I've not found an off-the-rack semi-drop-in solution yet and used normal 1/8" blanks. The TUSQ graphtech ones have worked well for me. |
