Replacement Nut for Model 1

[donbarzini]

Does anyone know if there is a pre-slotted nut that I can purchase that will fit directly into place of a Model 1? I purchased a graphite pre-slotted Gibson nut from Allparts (1 11/16 x 3/16 x 5/16) but it was a bit too wide and high. I was hoping to find a direct replacement so I do not have to have one made. Thanks.

There's Graph Tech or Stew-Mac. Even if you find one, you still will need to have the slots tweaked for it to work correctly. You might as well buy a blank one and have a tech do the work, or buy a set of nut files and learn how to do it yourself.
