Nut Survey.....

How many of you have more then one nut

Actually, I came across an interesting thing the other day. I shopped at a few music stores, and I was checking to see how many of these guitars have perfectly aligned nuts. I was suprised to find how many guitars were off 1/32 , or more.

Most people dont notice it....

But Im curious, go pick up your guitar if you have a Floyd, and tell me if your nut is off center or not, and by how much.

For what you pay, im suprised at some of the more $$$ , and their "quality control" It's not a hard fix, but its not easy if you decide to drowel and drill.

Mine's spot on.

Mine are all good

My poor dog just had nut surgery.

[Super_shredder]

Standing up or sitting down? When standing the left one is a little higher than the right one but they're not off center. Seriously, good point. I know that I have one that is slightly off center. Luckily it's a top mount so it should be easy to fix. Just got to make time to get to it.

I run into that issue about 10% of the time on new guitars (just did the math in my head). It drives me batty.

My KE3's was pretty far off, so much so the high E string would come off the fretboard all the time. I put a smaller nut on and it's okay now, but you're right, it's poor QC.

Fortunately I don't have any that are off-center, but I do have one that's a hair too deep into the board, so I get some open string and 1st-fret spank on the G.


I have had a few over the years where the poor nut alignment was simply unbearable, though.

I've had that problem, but I repaired them right away. That's one of the most annoying things to me.

Got my first off center nut the other day It's not bad, but it's not correct either :think: looks like a dowel and redrill will be in order.

This thread...doesn't deliver.

I just turn my head and cough when my nuts are getting checked

my wayne is off, & so is my charvel replica, my jacksons & bcrich ST-3's have all pretty much dead on. funny the wayne & the Chrvie replica are the only 2 that are top mounted, all of the others bolt thru the neck. my soloist is an oddball tho it was ordered with a custom neck profile & its 1 3/4" nut, with the binding the E's seem way too close to the neck they're practically sitting right over the seam over the first few frets, someday ill change it over to a 1 11/16, to get my Es closer off the edge.
