    I've been fine pulling the plastic nuts out with a pair of pliers. I grab it in the middle and twist it back and forth a bit to break the glue and they've all just popped out. Worth taking some care with the black wood fret board as it does seem to be a bit softer than rosewood from what I can gather.

    I did that initially with my Build for a Mate, but the glue had been dribbled down the headstock side of the slot on the bass side and it found a weak point and blammo. Rosewood chippy. Was not happy. Clean break so Mr CA glue to the rescue, you can't tell, but I know its there. GRRRRRRR.
