Sign in to disble this ad
Anyone know where to get one 2" wide?

I need one for a Modulus Q6 (or Q5W).

All Parts widest graphite nut is 1 13/16".

Thanks,

john m

John,
If you want to have something that will be an exact replacement, I would try to cotact Modulus to see if they could help with the source. If they can't help you, you could try the solution that worked for my six-string build:

I used a Graph tech slab-

Check the necessary thickness of the nut...since the slabs are only 3/16" thick, I laminated some contrasting wood veneers to the headstock side of the nut with CA glue, trimmed it, slotted it and it looks great.
