Nut shims for RR1

[neilli]

Guys,
I've just received an excellent used RR1 from Matt at Onstagegear (black with gold pins and gold hardware - looks amazing!), but there seems to be something up with the floyd nut - The B and E strings are fretting on the first fret.
There seems to be a shim under the bass side but not under the treble so the nut is sitting at a slight angle - any ideas what I can use as a fix until I find a floyd one? (if ever in the UK!)
Cheers
Ian

Brass shim material worked great for me. You can find it in most hobby / model stores. Use an exacto knife to cut it to size.

shreddermon - thanks for that, it worked perfectly and now plays like a dream. Now I just need to sort out that earth buzz......!

Glad it worked for `ya. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Gotta give props to Chuckracer, Sully and, I think, BlackMariah for helping me out with that in a prior thread, though.
