Nuts, on my Fender?

robgilmo

Mim , 1994, I want to put a new nut on it, I know I know, only one cut from the finest bone blank and shaped in the hands of a Ninja using ancient tools that only a Ninja of the highest order can use correctly, but for now I want to use a Tusq.

Is this the one? I put one on my Tele last year but have forgotten which one I used.

I stuck that type of Tusq nut on my mexi strat recently as an experiment and I was pretty disappointed - without me sanding/filing the bottom the bass side ended up a tad low. The treble side was high, but that is in the correct direction and a touch with the nut files soon fixed that.

It works ok in the end, but I'd not buy another one when I can get approximately shaped bone blanks for a quid from china and size them exactly.
