xmacvicar Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hey Everyone! New to the forum and I just picked up my first Les Paul - its a beautiful 2005 faded. The A string is buzzing and I noticed that the string is pretty much laying against the first fret so the nut slot is too deep. I would like to put a bone nut in there as a replacement anyway (for tone reasons and to fix the A string). That being said, can anybody tell me the exact length of a pre cut nut I would need to get? I was on the stewmac website, but they are not pre slotted. Basically this is my first time looking into a replacement nut, so anyone with prior experience willing to share some information would be great!

BigKahune Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Welome. Congrats on your first LP. Nice top. She's a beauty. With no experience, I wouldn't recommend you trying a nut replacement. Take it to a shop/luthier and have them do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamman Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Welcome to the forum, +1 for BigKahune . I'm of the opinion that it's something you should not do on that sweet gibby the first time. I also have a 2005 standard and would not want you to mess it up. Imo they are great guitars,let a pro do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
