  • Where to get a precut Jackson style nut?

    Hey anyone know a source for a nut that is precut a bit for the way the strings go on the Jackson headstock? The standard Jackson headstock is what I mean.

    Do you mean one for a double locking trem type guitar?

    If so:

      Oops I should have said; a nut for a standard-style bridge. A strat trem bridge.

        Don't think there is a specific 'jackson nut'. just figure out the material and width and order a pre-cut nut from Allparts or even StewMac.

          Yeah, you can get pre-cut nuts from any guitar shop really. You can even find them, unsurprisingly, on ebay.

            Look for "Gibson-style" nuts:

              So in other words the top 2 strings cut a little angled and the bottom 2 also, and the mddle stay straight.

              I was told that otherwise it could cause tuning issues. Cause it to go out of tune I awas told.

              True or not?

                A good luthier should be able to make one for around $75 or so that will fit better than a stock one.

                  Well my friend would do it for about $40. Let me ask, is there any way I cnan just use a precut gibson nut? I mean that's what people here were saying, so anyone here really know?

                  If I can buy a precut nut for $10 and glue it non myself, that beats spending $40-$75.

                  Because I want to sale this guitar, I want to spend as little as possible, as long as it ends up being playable of course.
