phillyc Posted January 29, 2007 Report 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
Robert_the_damned Posted January 29, 2007 Report 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
Marzocchi705 Posted January 29, 2007 Report 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

Hi, Or if you wanted something a little fancier, you could check out StewMac's pre-slotted Gibby-style nuts. Peace, Dave Quote
