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

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. :D
