Will do shortly mate. Stock pbg neck, dB bone nut, using the stock bridge and a gfs unit to reference. Gotta mow the lawn first. Been neglecting it th3 past few weeks and if I don't do it the wife will have me.

no worries Andrew, mow your lawns buddy. Maybe if you can please post the distance between E strings on the nut and compare it to a standard F type nut. I suspect the slots could be a bit wide if the bridge and neck are standard

I had that feeling too but I can't bring myself to doubt db's work.
So from e to e on the nut is 38mm, nut width is 42mm, and the bevels come. In about a mm each side leaving a mm on each e between the string edge and the bevel if the fret end. Will post pics shortly.
no worries Andrew, please compare the 38mm to a PBG F type nut, got a feeling the slots are a bit wide

Mate I destroyed the nut when I took it out so I don't have the tele one. Would the nut on an St kit be the same?
Here is the spacing at the nut.
tl spacing with bone nut
St spacing with stock pbg nut.
So the bone nut is 38/9, plastic is 34/5
yeah Andrew as I thought. The ST and TL nut should be the same spacing. You better flick DB an email and ask for 34mm spacing between E strings. You can clearly see the 38mm spaced nut isn't going to work
