Question about the new compensated nuts

[Orange Adam]

I dig the idea, and it probably works, but what happens when you wear that nut out and you have to come up with a replacement.
Do you order from EBMM or look elsewhere?
I noticed they r wider/thicker as opposed to the dimensions of nuts on older MM guitars....

Good question. AND, can I buy one separate and have it installed on an older EBMM that did not have one?

The deal is this: Today is Saturday and the people from EB who could answer this are enjoying their weekend

Maybe BP will breeze through and fill us in.......

Not probably. It works.

If you wear one out, you have to get it from EB/MM

Yes they are wider than our old style nuts. We do not retrofit the compensated nuts.

Thats the deal

 

[Orange Adam]

Ok, so they r available from EB/MM. Thats all I needed to know!; )

You "wear out" your nut?

 

[Orange Adam]

I truly do!
Dont you?

When was the new compensated nut introduced?

When was the new compensated nut introduced?

I bleeb it was the latter part of 2005. I know when I ordered mine in Sept '05, I didn't know whether or not I would get the compensated nut.

I had an Earvana comp nut retro fitted to my Tele about 2 years ago (but it was fitted by the guy who initially built the guitar for me.
