Not really sure what you're looking for. A lot of it comes down to the guitar/amp combinations that these players prefer. If you do a little research in Guitar Player's online archives, you'll find interviews with all those people in which they talk about their gear. That said, I could...

Oh, something else. When I change strings I normally replace one at a time rather than removing the whole set. So the Strat hadn't been completely stringless in several years. When I removed the strings to replace the nut I discovered that the D-string tuner was rattling around on the...

Update - LSR Nut Hey, ZoSo - I installed a Fender LSR nut over the weekend. It's a pretty straightforward install. The package contains the nut, a plastic widget for retrofitting the nut onto Wilkinson-equipped guitars, shims, and the two mounting screws. It would have been nice if they'd...

I feel your pain. :D

If you want to stick with a LP.....there are plenty of used LPs out there. Just make sure you get a S/N from the seller, and check it at Gibson's web site.

....let's see, that's May 21, right? :D

You must be reading my mind.

You gotta love an amp that stands up and says, "Yes, I am a tube amp, dammit!" :drunk:

Checked 'em out from my iPhone. Sweet!

If that doesn't work out, then I'll just have it fixed to accept a regular nut.

Right. I'm not sure if I can even get a Wilkinson any more. If not, I'll probably try fitting a LSR, because (1) the fretboard is already mostly prepped for it, (2) it's relatively cheap and (3) I'd rather not have my Strat sitting in the luthier's shop for a month while he keeps putting it on...

OK, thanks.

Only until you kill them by dousing your pubes with gasoline and setting them on fire. Then they're dead. :)

Muttley, the issue is that the Wilkinson roller nuts on our '89 and '91 Strat Plus models are binding and wreaking havoc with tuning when we do deep vibrato dives. I have removed mine and cleaned and lubed it to little if any effect. You can't easily retrofit a standard nut on these models...

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Well, we can't have anyone offending anyone, can we?

It started out as a Hipshot thing but evolved into a roller nut thing.

I provided a link in post #1.

Well, crap, I can't see the pics - my firewall blocks externally linked stuff.

"Muttley, please come to the service counter. Muttley, please come to the service counter." :D Hey, Mutt - would you have a look at the thread about roller nut problems and offer words of wisdom? Thanks...
