R3 is typical size however the original Jackson nut is shorter than othe OFR one. Most people typically keep the Jackson nut of it still works properly.

You will have to remove material from the shelf where the nut sits.

Or, grind the bottom of the nut down. Whichever you think will be easiest.

silly question ---
Are you talking about the saddles, or the nut?

[haris1687]

yes i am talking abt the nut.. which nut size gona fit the jackson dinky ??

[rjohnstone]

Use an R3, the R2 is a 1 5/8 nut.
You're gong to have to sand down the nut shelf on the neck to get the string height correct and the nut.
I don't recommend grinding the nut down. It's difficult and takes forever.

alright will go for R3 .thankyou for the help man
