phillyc Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) hey guys, it's been a long time since i've been on the site. i'm finally starting some projects again (when money and time allows) - moding/upgrading an Esteban electric guitar (i got from a relative that doesnt play anymore) with spare parts i have..haha..i'll most pics soon. - another project is an EVH black and white replica from used parts - got the neck and body already still need hardware and electronics. - and this one, which i'm starting if i can find parts to restore this neck. i got a hold of this Epiphone neck but the nut was missing. i've been trying to search with no luck on what kind of guitar it came from and where i can find parts for it. i'm still a novice at building guitars so any help is appreciated. i circled the part that i'm having trouble with. looks like something is missing. i'm assuming it came from an Explorer but i couldnt find any pics of an Epiphone Explorer with a neck setup like this. I'm guessing the guitar had some kind of floyd rose since it is locking? hmm? There's a code on the back of the neck heel that reads SKB-2B ... not sure what that means. close up fyi: i used to be :disturbed: on this site a few years ago. i lost the password and didn't have the email i signed up with anymore. so i just decided to start a new account.....this was my last guitar project... http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=6812 Edited January 29, 2007 by phillyc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 it looks like that locking nut is being used behind a normal LP style plastic nut (should be able to pick one of those up at your local guitar store!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 +1 hit the nail on the head. The locking nut here is just to lock the strings off, a standard LP nut *should* just drop right in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Or if you wanted something a little fancier, you could check out StewMac's pre-slotted Gibby-style nuts. Peace, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
