I've got one of the new batch of Affinity Teles, with the belly cut. The nut is usuable, but the slots are uneven, and rather that buying a set of file$, or taking it to someone else, I'm thinking of replacing the nut with a Tusq one. Have any of you removed the nut from one of these guitars? Is the bottom radiused or flat?

My Squiers have been flat. The nut you would likely get from GraphTech is made flat, but has a cut-out post for a 7.25"(?) radius IIRC. They are great nuts, but you still may need to fine-tune the slots if you use heavy strings.
