  • '87 soloist nut Question?

    I was curious what material was used on custom soloists in '87 for the nut?

    No ideas? Just for clarification I'm not talking about the behind the nut lock. I looked at it again and I don't think it plastic. I was wondering if it was worth upgrading to something better. It would be nice to know what it's made of to make a better decision.

      The Charvel model series from the same time period used a phenolic nut, which looked similar, but I can't confirm it's the same as the US counterpart. Hell, I ain't sure what the hell phenolic is anyways!

        Thanks for the info, but I'm not finding any info on the net about a phenolic nut. :think:

          What's that circle on the tip of the headstock??

            It's a multi-faceted faux diamond, just like one you'd find on a ring. Someone removed wood from the headstock and glued this diamond in it. It's hard to photograph.

              That's kind of bizarre!

                I thought those nuts were graphite?

                Yeah, interesting thing with the stone. :think:

                  Graphite? If it is that's good, I think I'll leave it as is. Interesting indeed!
