How much should I offer? Or should I

[diablomozart]

you won't find it cause i already own it...sorry...lol...as for pickups i used duncan customs in basswood charvels for years on end...and eventually may drop an old custom in my main one because i know exactly what it'll sound like...it will however ruin the clean tone in the 2nd position...but i have another 570 for killer cleans so i'll probably do it anyway...the older ones (mine's a 91 i think) play better than the later ones but my 2002 doesn't play bad...but the neck is a tad bit thicker and it has a funky bubinga stripe up the back...it's dead mint and i pretty much only use it for cleans anyway...bought it off a guy who kept it in his closet for 10 years...so they're still out there...and some of them in really good condition too...d.m.

Hey, I'm just about to order a new Schaller bridge for my Fusion Std Pro.(whoooo) I took the nut off to confirm the size and it said R4. Ok, so maybe I'm paranoid but that seemed wrong to me...does anyone know if thats right for sure? When I googled I found most were using R3?

If anyone knows for sure it would be cool....

1 11/16" is indeed an r4 nut...d.m.

Random man, but the guitar I'm trying to fix up also says R4 under the nut. However, when I measure the nut width and the neck width at the nut(they are the same), I get 44mm! R4 is not 44mm,(I see 42.85mm?) it's something else..so I'm confused as well.

[diablomozart]

1.6875in = 42.862500mm

the above should be the measurement for an r4 nut...never seen one at 44mm...weird...d.m.

Yeah my concern is that this nut has been replaced....so I would like to know what nut is supposed to go on this little beast....what was on it when it came from Jackson?


EDIT: I just measured mine it also, is 44mm :think:

[diablomozart]

the vast majority of jacksons have a 1 11/16" nut width...so the r4 is the correct nut unless you want tighter string spacing...but an r3 wouldnt go all the way to the edges...d.m.

whew, I don't feel so bad now... I thought I was going crazy and forgot how to measure things! This neck is pretty wide, so I could see why people use the R4...
