Donnner telecaster

[jonathan_oakley]

hey guys, i have a donner telecaster that I need to put a new nut on. Tried a graph tech pt-5000 but it was quite off (string spacing mostly) anyone have one of these and know what nut would be the best choice to put on it?

Howdy and welcome!
Sorry, I’m no help regarding the nut.

I don't know what your level of interest would be in making a nut yourself, but if the original nut had proper spacing, then cutting a new one from a blank using the original as your template is certainly one option. You just need the files, which are a sound investment for anyone with a growing stable of guitars.

There were a few different nut widths on Squiers over the years. I'd measure the original nut with calipers, then find the closest fit. I seem to remember Graph Tech having all of the dimensions published on their website when I was looking for a nut for an older Epiphone.
