Yamaha SG3 nut/string guide

Post by Odjuret » Tue Jun 28, 2022 8:29 am

Hi,
I have a Yamaha SG3 which original nut/stringguide has been replaced some time before I bought it. The nut is in bad shape and the replacement was not well done.
Can anyone recommend a good nut to get instead? I guess finding an original one is not in question. Or does anyone sell repros?
Thanks! :)

If you have a zero fret, the originals were chromed steel string guides; you might be able to get one on eBay, and I can measure mine when I get home if you need.
