  • Installing a new nut

    Hey guys -
    I was trying to install a locking nut on a DK2 neck and (yeah, yeah, I'm a dumbass [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ) I broke the screw off. I drilled a pilot hole and was putting the screws in, went to snug it up just a pinch and the head and about half the screw broke off in the wood. My question is: since I don't know that I'll have any luck drilling it out without screwing up the neck even worse, is there a way to glue the nut to the fretboard? It's a rosewood board. Also, what would be the best method to get the old screw out? I really don't have any competent techs in this area for me to take it to. [img]graemlins/help.gif[/img]

    Thanks

    Nevermind. I enlarged the hole around it, then was able to use needlenose to get it out. Then I put a wood plug in the hole and started over.

    As Sully would say.....
    Good times!
