* Question #3

Any stingray 5 with Compensated Nut with (1) shaped Pickup ??

------------------------------

I bought one used one and it's with Comp nut w (1). Still suspect that previous owner changed the pickup. But.... pickguard's too nicely modied(?).

Soapbar pickups were used on some SR5s that had compensated nuts...

-> We transitioned from the soapbar to the flange pickup from 2005-2006; both shapes were in use during this transitional period.

-> The compensated nut was first introduced on the Bongo in 2003, and it was implemented on all instruments (including the SR5) around May/June 2006.

how to get replacement compensated nut

my compensated nut was chipped off at the top (top part of B string). how do i get a replacement, and how do i install it? thanks.

And if i were to stick with it, does it have any effect on the tone/intonation/sustain? Thks.

The compensated nut came out on the Rays and Sterlings in 2005.
