marco mancini Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 hello there everybody can anyone tell me whether this nut is genuine on a gibson firebird 64reissue custom shop ? thanks https://postimg.cc/21K031C7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I know nothing about Firebirds, but looking at the picture I would tend to think the nut is original. Notice how the side of the nut is painted the same color as the neck and headstock. That would be hard to make it look seamless if the nut had been replaced.

marco mancini Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 well , seeing the same model here it seems to me that at least it has been modified to settle in the strings , or am i wrong ? https://postimg.cc/7C2pL4vb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 It is hard to tell but is there paint on the nut, or is there a chunk missing on the bass side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Now that I see the treble side is different I changed my mind and think maybe it has been replaced. Again - I know nothing about Firebirds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I have a Firebird V and a VII sitting out here and neither one has any paint on the side of the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
