Redddog Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm putting one in as part of a pretty comprehensive upgrade and I'm looking for the right size. Anyone put one in. I'm looking for a preslotted one. Actually, an item number would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I think you would be looking for a 1 5/8" (1.625") nut according to the Casino specs. I make mine from bone, custom sized to fit each guitar so I'm not familiar with Tusq item numbers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redddog Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Here's a realated question: Does/would anyone cut a nut that would fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 1 11/16ths is the Tusq nut that fits my sheraton and according to the supplier fits the casino. 11/16ths converts to 1.69 so... that's definately a fit! I have them in stock now.. shipping cost would be price of stamp. pm me if you want one! 7.75 sound ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redddog Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hey Patrick. It's me, Dan. Yeah that one you sent is too big. String spacing and everything. I sent you an email. Maybe it was mispackaged. Thanks man. BTW, I got the KAs and the Bigsby on and they look awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 You're kidding. I'll be damned. Well, no I wont. They will! That was the graph tech though.. not the tusq, right? Send 'er back, I'll send you a tusq and make yet another note concerning suppliers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 By the way forum fans.. Reddog got four new pots from me.. supposed to be 500K. all packaged as 500K said so right there. did I read the pots themselves? No. so he got one 3Meg pot. Now he has to send all his wiring back to be redone..AND he didn't even shoot me. I don't know what the he** to think about the nut not fitting. advertised as fitting, supplied as fitting. and didn't fit. new rule. check every single thing from every single aspect because otherwise I wind up looking like an ***. So if you order from me, from now on, don't expect fancy packaging because I'll have pre opened it. I've never used a 3Meg pot in my life for anything.

RotcanX Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Be careful. The Casino (and the Supernova for that matter) have thinner necks than the standard Epis such as the Dot or Sheraton so I would not expect the 1 11/16" (1.6875") nut to fit. It's supposed to be 1.625". May not look like much of a difference, but 1/32" hanging off the neck on each side is not going to be pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redddog Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 The specs on the website say that the nut width is 1.68. Same as the Shearaton II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Looks like we found a possible reason at least. spec changes... ! If I had your guitar I'd just make you one. was it too wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redddog Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yup. Too wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
