new nuts

[alf cockle]

Greetings.I see that EB is now producing new guitars with compensated nuts.Are these available to the general public,are they an easy fit for old style nut Musicman guitars? Do they make a big difference in the tuning stability?tx.

They're not available individually .... you have to buy a new MM to get them.

(Also they're larger than the old nut so you would need to widen the nut slot to get one in, if you had one.)

 

[alf cockle]

so far so good anyway

Tx beej.I have replaced the bridge saddles and one nut with graph-tech units..excellent results.I have 2 sports,1SS,1Albert,1sil sp. for the gear heads out there,I acquired an old ovation viper solidbody a while back ..amazingly similar to my axis sport mm90...feel and tones.

Welcome ALF!

Welcome bro. Show us your guitars. We'd love to see them.

Hey Alf, good to see you here and welcome! Our new patented compensted nuts really do stabilize the intonation better up and down the neck. Unfortunately, becuase of the way they are cut into the neck, retrofits are not possible without replacing the entire neck.

Saw an advert for Earvana that does compensated tuning systems but don't know if they sell or just customize individually or how compatable they are w/ EBMM. Anyone looked into this company?

I have installed a few on various instruments. Earvana has a few diff styles for specific guitars. They sell them individualy and you would need to have it installed or install it your self.
Just check the Earvana website for specific applications.

I wouldn't recommend Earvana at all. Do a search here for the reason why...

 

[glockaxis]

Hey Colin, just did a search as you suggested and don't know how I missed that thread back in January of this year about court battles between EBMM and Earvana.

BP, is this still in court or was there a settlement?

I have an Earvanna nut retrofitted to a non EB guitar.
It's not the right place to talk about it here on the forum because of the court action but if you want to PM me I'll tell you my experience with it.

Sorry ALF OT.
Hey Glockaxis when's the ETA for that Black Cherry Burst ?

 

[robelinda2]

yeah when's the BCB AL coming!!!!

 

[glockaxis]

I ordered it from Pete before the JP so it should be finished in early to mid August. The JP is due in late August. I believe I ordered in May.

I can't wait and will post pics when they come in as I now have a digital camera. How about some sending some good vibes my way so I can get it sooner!!!!LOl
