davros Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 I just got a mighty mite strat neck, with maple fingerboard for my project, but it has a crappy plastic nut that I want to replace with a graphtech job. What's the best way to remove the old one without damaging the neck? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPL Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Warning: The following advice is second hand and not from experience. For a fender neck Dan Erlewine says the sure way to not screw up the FB is to saw a kerf through the center of the nut end to end as close to the bottom as you dare. Then grab it with a pliers and snap it in half, it should pop right out at that point. Now if anyone has a better way I would love to hear it. I have a fender waiting for a new nut and would love to hear from someone that actually knows what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
