ShatnersBassoon Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Hi, just a quick question. Whilst browsing eBay I have noticed quite a few pre radiused boards with slightly unusual radiuses such as 16 etc. I have noticed that the nut slot depth tends to follow the radius of the board in these listings. However most nuts that you buy are either flat (on the bottom I mean) or more standard radiuses such as 9.5. Out of curiosity I have looked for nuts with these more unusual radiuses and can’t find any. Could anyone shed any light on this? Is it just a matter of modifying a nut so that it fits nicely in the slot? I would imagine that this would be difficult with a brass nut. Anyway...thoughts? Whoops! A double post I notice. Apologies!

mistermikev Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 go look at graph tec radius nuts... they have a little nub on the bottom so you can sand it lightly to meet the radius of your board. You'll have to sand a bit anyway to get the height right so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronkirn Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 don't sweat it.. take a piece of sandpaper about 100 grit (not particularly important) place it on the neck fingerboard then scrub the nut back and forth until you achieve the raidused bottom.... this is a pretty common solution. rk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
