lengle1981 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm looking for a new top nut for my epi SG. My old one has a chip in it. 2 questions: (1) I want a white one, does anyone know where I can get one in the UK or online shipped. I ask as I'm worried about the string spacings and wanna make sure I get the right one (2) are they easy to fit? If so how? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad1 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Sorry, I didn't answer question #2. If this is the first time you've done one then it will take some time. I am assuming you wanted the pre-slotted kind. Even with the slots pre-cut, you will still have to do a little fine tuning. And the nut itself will not fit exactly. You will need to get some sandpaper and sand some off the sides, bottom and maybe top. You might even want to get 2 nuts just in case you mess up. The first time I put on a new nut it took me quite a long time. I eventually had to get another one because I did not like the job I initially did. The second time came out much better. I have now put new nuts on all 8 of my guitars. Each time you do it you will get a little better at it. So don't get discouraged if you get frustrated. Good luck!

lengle1981 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Also, the white nut looks so much better than the black one. I don't know why suck a minor detail makes the guitar look far far better! Just waitin for vibramate to get the VM100 sorted so I can add a maestro type trem to mine as well!
