Adrian Smith SDX, Nut Width Issue

[BLOOD SPLATTER]

wow that is just crazy that they let that one slip by

Who is "they" ?? Quality Control?? There is no quality control inspection now...hasn't been for years...build box & ship

I just bought one of these guitars and has the same issue. Gonna hit ebay for an R3 right now.

Hmmmm, I just got a used one yesterday and it's great. Maybe the previous owner already swapped it.

I still have bad dreams about my SDX POS.

I'm really liking mine. Not tried it through an amp yet but in my Toneport it sounds great, even the single coils. I'm getting a great range of tones from it and holding off putting my spare Duncan JB in the bridge now.

Loving mine as well, though I did replace the OEM humbucker with a Super Distortion (or actually Dual Sound, which merely is a 4-conductor SD)

That was my plan, but I only have a cream Super D and that would ruin the look, so was going to go with an old JBJ. But honestly, the humbucker in this thing sounds fantastic so far. I bought it used, maybe someone put in a real Super D at some point cos I normally hate cheapo pickups!

I do know that the OEM HB had somewhat of the character of a JB (Which I happen to not like so much)
It was certainly hot, and not nearly as bland as some other stock pickups I heard over the years

So far the thought of making it a dual HB crossed my mind
...as has throwing in a Graphtech Ghost Floyd rose to hook it onto a guitarsynth

[MartinBarre]

It really just needs the midi thing to be complete....

[Nightbat]

Well, maybe if/when the Floyd gives out
Currently, I'm not willing to fork out $500+ when it's in perfect working condition
