About a month ago, I decided to change the nut on my Ibanez AH-10 because, being lefthanded, I reverse-strung the guitar, and the intonation turned out to be really poor, and my first thought to correct it, was to change the nut, since the grooves on it didn't match the string gauges at all anymore. Anyway, I had a really hard time getting the nut out, but when I finally did, it was fairly dented and probably not usable anymore. After talking to someone at Graph Tech, I ordered a couple of strat-style trem nuts, thinking they would fit, but when they arrived, I saw that this wasn't the case. First of all, the trem nut is concave, second of all the AH-10 nut wasn't the same length down across the whole nut, but went deeper at one side of it. http://www.graphevade.com/ah10nut/IMG_0232.jpg http://www.graphevade.com/ah10nut/IMG_0233.jpg http://www.graphevade.com/ah10nut/IMG_0212.jpg You can see in the top-down picture that the strat-style trem nut has a curve to it, when the original AH-10 nut is perfectly straigth. The AH-10 nut also looks to be a bit thinner. So, does anyone know where I could get hold of a nut like this? Prefferably unfiled, so I can make it lefthanded.
