Gixxernutter Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I need to change the nut on my 150cm as the G string is clanging !. Does anyone know the graphtech nut code for the 150 ? This one looks good http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Graphtech-PT6010-Gib...A1%7C240%3A1318 I need a slotted one as I haven't got any nut files. What's the best glue to use to keep the nut in place ? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mars_hall Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I need to change the nut on my 150cm as the G string is clanging !. Sometime "clanging" is caused by the action being too low and the fretted string hitting a higher fret when it is plucked. Other times, if you tend to pluck in towards the guitar as opposed to down to the ground, you will get clang. An unwound g is the most slack on the guitar, I have read. Does the clang occur on open plucked strings or fretted only? What's the best glue to use to keep the nut in place ? Hide glue would be good.

Gixxernutter Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi Fella's, thanks for such quick replies ! The clanging only occurs on the open g, fretted there's no clanging. The present nut is very 'sticky' and causes tuning instabilities, I've tried working strings through the slot to open them up a bit but there still sticking. The 150 already has graphtech saddles, and I've used graphtech nuts on a lot of my other guitars with great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxernutter Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Has anyone fitted a graphtech nut to their 150 cm ? Would greatly appriciate the graphtech code for the nut if they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbright Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Try some nut sauce. I use a wound g myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars_hall Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 You will probably get more help if you give the width/height/length measurements of the current nut. Otherwise, it would just be a guess, since there are so many possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Asbell Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 A somewhat easier option– and one that may work perfectly fine for you– would be to build up the 3rd string nut slot slightly. Crazy Glue and some sort of powder is the recommended ingredient. Powder options I've heard used include baking soda, bone dust, or powder made from the plastic material used for your present nut. (Often, you can get enough by sanding or filing the top or an edge of your present nut, to create a bit of that plastic dust.) Next, you mix a drop of CA glue with the powder, and use something like a toothpick tip to carefully drop a bit of the glue/powder misture into the low slot. Let dry for a few hours (or more) and then you'll need to file a new slot. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxernutter Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Does anyone know the specified string spacing (e - e) on the 150cm, To me it looks like either 1" 15/32 nds or 1 " 1/2 ? My eye sight isn't what it used to be 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
