    Was actually thinking about replacing the nut with one of these to match the black hardware: https://graphtech.com/products/black...40103275233303

    Do you know if nut angle varies widely on multiscale guitars? The same brand also has a blank to cut your own slots, could go that route. Also I have some deer antlers that could make a pretty good bone nut 🤔 though pre-slotted would be nice to not buy all the tools needed to make and slot a nut.

    Sorry, but I cannot help with that question. Hopefully others will pitch in!

    I would also be checking if the width of the nut matches the width at the top of the fretboard (as that would affect the string spacing on the PB neck).

    I do know that good quality nut slotting tools are quite expensive - but possibly worth considering if you are intending to do a number of kits. Most nuts will need to slotted to get a good string action.
