BB King Lucille (Epiphone) need nut replacement


Axe2Grind123

Recommended Posts

Hello fellow Epi-owners! First let me say I love my Epi-Lucille, would recommend this guitar to anyone. It's exactly what I was looking for - great tone, looks amazing, feels great. Who could ask for anything more at $700??

 

Just one little issue I need to fix, within 3 months of owning the guitar, my plastic nut cracked. I planned on replacing it anyway with a graphite nut to keep the axe in tune a little better (it tends to creep a little...)

 

I’ve been trying to find a graphite (or similar) nut that will fit appropriately, but I’m a little unsure of which is the correct size nut.

 

SamAsh.com has this “Graphite Nut for Gibson Guitars” made by All Parts:

And the GraphTech website has Ivory/Teflon nuts that sound like they’d do the same as graphite:

I’ve looked at GraphTech’s instructions for sizing your guitar for a nut:

I just don’t trust that I’ve got a fine enough measuring tool to get an accurate measurement of the existing nut. Can anybody please tell me the accurate measurements or point me towards a specific nut that will fit?

 

Additional info: The specs specify 1.68" nut width, thought this might help, thank you for any assistance you can provide.
