Where to get new nut for EBMM Sterling

Sign in to disble this ad
So I decided to observe my nut to see if it was the cause of my mysterious fret buzz, and sure enough it was recessed almost to the fingerboard So right now my main concern is where I can find a nut that is the appropriate height/ width for a EBMM Sterling neck, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Stew-Mac online sells nut material. Otherwise, why not contact the manufacturer?

You can have a new nut made, or you can shim the nut and cut the slots back down to the proper height.

Pre-fab nuts are NEVER right.
