65 Jag nut

Post by Ground Control » Mon Jul 22, 2024 2:24 pm

Wondering if anyone has a good source for a replacement bone nut for a 1965 Fender Jaguar with 7.5 radius. I still have the original nut installed but its met its day.

Cheers

For a vintage guitar, you probably want to go an extra mile and have a new bone nut cut by skilled tech / luthier.

For any guitar with nut issues. It's not expensive.

Yeah, what these guys said.

Realistically there's no such thing as a perfectly cut precut but. Every guitar is a tad different. It's why I learned how to do it myself.
