Fender Road Worn '50s P nut

[Metal Mitch]

Nut broke.

This nut is a bit longer than the standard pre-cut Fender replacement part. Fits a 1.75" nut width.

Anybody got a part number and source for a replacement?

Also noticed the original pre-cut slot heights are not radiused for the 7.25" radius fretboard. Fender authorized replacement part may have the same problem, but I'd prefer a replacement designed for *this* neck.

Can you super glue it back together Or get one custom made I'm a fan of the graphite type I put one on 68 p bass almost 20 yrs ago & it hasn't worn a bit!

You will need to get a blank.

Yeah, first thing I did was glue it back together.

I was afraid a blank would be the only solution... Fender doesn't list the Road Worn or Classic series in their service diagram downloads. The AV 57 part number is for a blank.

Give it the superglue.Dont use it right away let it bond nicely then chuck it back on & try it.I filed my E slot too much & got bad rattle but it was an easy fix.

Try addin a little bakin soda with the super glue I often use this to fill in worn or loose nut groove's

[Metal Mitch]

Thanks guys, but this is not a slot issue. I've used the baking soda w/superglue mix before. This nut just plain broke in half.

For gluing in a nut I use Loctite Stik'n Seal. It's waterproof and strong. Takes about 24 hours to fully cure - which is important to know if you have a pointy headstock and the string tension pulls the nut to one side.

Have you glued it yet ?
