I'm gonna love your nuts...

I'm purchasing an allparts nitro finished neck and can't find a bloody 1 5/8 nut for my tele. I want one preferably pre-slotted. Anyone got any sites for these sort of things? BAH!

Everything seems to be 1 11/16.

that's 'cause buying a presloted, already fit nut is nutz.... they should be cut for the guitar they are mounted on.. doing so it part of a quality setup which is the key to having the guitar play and sound like you want.

The setup is about 99% of that, the nut is about 1%

Who is the best luthier in the 'Burgh? I always went to Chris Boyle at Swissvale... but he is retiring.

Omg. I go to Chris Boyle too..right down the street..but he's retiring so i gotta catch him soon...he trained me for a short while but in nothing like this...

Small f'ing world apollo.

I believe he told me that Paul would be covering for him when he left..or Gary.
