eliminating a OFR nut

[pebber]

what are the options, if any??
- are there roller types of nut which can be used to retrofit, with(out) shims?
- is it worth to try to glue back a piece of wood and place an ivory nut in it?

You could use a Wilkinson Roller nut. It would require a very small mod to retro fit it, but nothing major.
I put one of these on my blue Charvel reproduction.

Each roller is independant.



This type has all a solid roller.

you can also get an ebanol replacement nut. go to allparts.com and search for "ebanol nut" and you'll find it.

Whatever you choose, DO NOT go with ivory!! Supporting poachers is lame!

Lee at GMW said they could replace a Floyd nut with a regular nut by building a new nut area. I would guess by gluing a shaped piece of wood there.
