Great news. I don't think you'll be unhappy with the result.

Just to second that I've used my first DB bone nut on recent SG-1F and it is without doubt one of the best 'bang for your buck' upgrades you can do. My completed kit builds will all eventually receive the same. All new ones to have one.

Absolutely - always go the DB bone nut upgrade

I took DB's advice on the nuts. I used brushable superglue, put a swipe on the nut slot stick the nut on and hold for a few minutes.
Don't be worried about only putting a few dots of glue on as mine still come off with a little wack fron the fret leveling bar.
The bigest issue I have had with putting my nuts in the right place is getting the slot to line up properly after I have trimmed all the old furry bits off with the file.
