Monckyman Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Hello all, I have a Korean Squier jazz neck which the headstock code suggests was made by Samick in 1989. It has too much relief and the truss rod nut is bolloxed. I`ve taken the nut out and filed a slot across it so I could use a large flat screwdriver, but that didn`t get me enough relief either. So I used it to prop a wall up for a couple of months. I`m now trying to find a new nut to fit, but I`m having no luck turning up any information on what size. I bought a "Mexican Fender" sized TR nut and it`s too small. The American Fender bullets look like what I took off, but I`d prefer not to waste another £7 if I can help it. Any info or ideas? Ta, MM Quote
Ou7shined Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Bang a washer underneath your current one and see if it'll give you a bit more leeway. Btw surely if you can take your tr nut out can't you just measure it yourself... or take it to someone who can? Quote
Monckyman Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 Yes, I can measure it, but how will that help unless the parts I`m looking at also have measurements? Should I be looking at allparts ? Quote
Ou7shined Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I dunno man. Email the companies? How do you think a new nut will help though? If it's not seized, stripped or broken then it's doing all it can. Try the washer trick. Quote
Monckyman Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 Well, I wanted a nice new nut is all! But I spose it doesn`t matter so long as it`s working so yes, I `ll try some kind of spacer. Seems a shame to waste a nice slim neck. ta. Quote
