Graphtech replacement nut for Axis Super Sport?

[Rivers]

Am located outside of the USA and am looking for a replacement for the compensated nut and am wondering if a non-compensated Graphtech nut would work as a direct replacement without any detriments?

Also am wondering would PQ-6225-00 be the correct part number as a direct replacement?

Thanks!

I had a similar, but reversed, situation a while back and you can review that in this thread:

Question - Axis Sport Replacement Nut Questions


And in that thread Dr. Kev offered this very helpful info that would also be relevant in your case:

"The compensated nut didn't appear until 2005/2006, so any instruments made before that use a standard nut. The compensated nut is designed to be thicker (to accommodate the compensation) and slot in the neck for it is wider and the front edge is a little closer to 1st fret than standard nuts. If you try to put it in a standard position slot the compensation will make some open strings too far back. So, for best intonation use a standard nut in pre-2005 instruments."

In your situation the front edge of a standard nut would possibly be too far forward without the associated compensated string slot setbacks.

I’m about 99% sure I have a spare EBMM compensated nut somewhere. I’ll have to dig some cases out of the closet to check but if you’re interested send me a PM. I’m happy to send it to you for free.

I use a graphtech 5010 for all of my axis ss.
