Jackson Dinky JS11 Nut

[SylentCommando]

Hi, I haven't posted in a while but I need some help on this one. I recently took my guitar to L&M to get a new black graph tech tusq nut installed. It was in there for like 2 months. I just got it back yesterday and the nut looks horrible, its not even the right length. So I need a new nut. I was wondering if any forums members have the JS11 and if you could let me know the specs of the original nut so I can order a new one. I am never taking my guitar to L&M again these chain stores don't seem to know what they are doing. Cheers!

I don't know if this makes you confused or not,
but IF you had a Floyd Rose Locknut,
it would be the R 3.
I don't know if the measurements are the same as a Non Locknut.
Google
Floyd Rose Locknut Sizes
and there will be a Floyd Rose chart with measurements.
Each size has measurements in
Inches and MM so each size will be listed more than once.

Hope This Helps

1.68 inches/42.86 mm wide according to the Jackson page
I'm pretty sure any nut you get will need to be sanded down and made to fit, and possibly/probably need the slots filed, too.

Can you find a local guy to cut you a bone nut? That'd be the easiest way if possible.
A good guy will file the slots nice and low if you want a feather-light action, or a bit higher if you prefer.
As well as keep the radius correct.

Which L&M?
I don't think I'd have waited 2 weeks, but 2 months?
You're a patient guy.

I ended up finding the original nut. It was in the case.If anyone needs the specs for a new nut for this guitar let me know. It was at the St.Catharines L&M. I am a patient guy but 2 months to put on a guitar nut is crazy. I don't think the tech there knows what he is doing.Everytime I phoned to see about the guitar and there was always excuses on why its not done.I am never taking any guitar to L&M again for repair.
