Hi all,
I am gunna get a USACG neck which is: 1.75" at the nut, has 6150 frets, is 25.5" scale and has 22 frets. I am looking for some sort of pre-slotted 1.75" nut to go in it, preferrably an Earvana.
Has anyone tried the 1.75" Earvana Gibson OEM nut on a 1.75" USACG neck with with USACG's Earvana nut slot? Does it fit and work well? On the Earvana site it says of this nut "must cut 3/32"from fret board", will I have to do this if I stick it on the USACG neck? Presuambly this means cut 3/32" off the length of the fretboard to get the nut nearer the bridge and is to do with intonation, and does not mean the nut needs to be sunk deeper in the neck... Is this in fact what USACG take care of when with their "Earvana OEM nut slot"?
Any suggestions for other 1.75" nuts that would fit well, perhaps from Graphtech? Presumably these would require USACG's normal nut slot, either flat bottom or curved...
I want a pre-slotted nut of some type and an E-to-E spacing of 36-37mm. I realise that I will still need to do some filing of the string slots to tune the nut to the neck.
Hope someone can help, I don't really want to keep bothering USACG with all these questions...
Cheers,
