Locking nut for an SL2

[Inearthed]

I have an SL2 (two hum soloist, no inlays on the ebony board) that shipped with chrome hardware. I'm looking to make it all black hardware, so I was wondering where I could get a locking nut like the one on the SL2 but in black. The nut isn't stamped or marked in any noticeable way. Should I take some photos of it and post it here and maybe someone can ID it? Thanks in advance.

A black R2 should be fine.

No, an R2 is for a 1-5/8" nut width. The SL2 should be 1-11/16".

R4 it is then.

Or an R3, both are 1 11/16" wide but the R3 has narrower string spacing. I think you need the type used on Jackson imports that are top mount only and are not quite as tall as the Schaller locking nuts. There's some on Ebay now.

I replaced the nut on my SL2 with a R3 to keep the high E from slipping off the fret board. The R4 spacing seems to be a little too wide.
