Have the guitar in the car so you can grab it and take inside if you are unsure what might fit or not as the guys in the shop should be able to help you find something to do the job.Originally Posted by Zandit75
As Andy mentioned string spacing is important and acoustic nuts may not work as they will probably be too wide and also have wider strings slots cut which could lead to annoying buzzing at the nut on open strings.
On my Tele I have had 3 nuts, the original plastic, an aftermarket Bone plus an aftermarket Brass where both aftermarkets were a fraction wider than the fretboard and had to be filed/sanded down to size. Unfortunately the bone one bought via mail order didn't stand tall enough and would require a thin shim under it to raise the height to a proper level.... too much mucking about hence why I bought another one. These are examples of what to look out for as this axe may not necessarily take a standard nut straight off the shelf.
