Has the nut been cut? There doesn't seem to be any string slots in the nt.

Hi Shane, the nut is cut but the mounting holes in the back to connect it to the body are not pre-drilled and there are only 21 frets and not 22 as advertised. I wouldn't buy it again and have never used it.

Yes, these both had plastic nuts installed that are ready to go. But I don't like those, just cut along the edges with a razor to free up the glue, and tap it out from the end with an awl and hammer. Then install a good nut!

yes, the nut has been slotted.. I do advise you know how to file and work with a nut because that'll save you the money I had to spend on getting a new nut.. while preslotted, you may have to make some acclimations depending on your string size..

The nut has been slotted for each string on all 3 of the samples of this item that I've seen with my own eyes. However, the nut is of such poor quality to begin with, and with 2 of those 3 necks that I've seen, the nut was poorly-emplaced in the neck.

You may have stripped the threads... remove any burrs and try a bit of teflon tape... making sure that you are screwing it in straight. I love mt tree but always make sure you take your time... always could be a factory defect... send it back and get another...if so.

use chap stick as a lube on the nut after filing lowE string slot. this should help. do this every time you change strings.

Um, I dont think so. Because, as you can see in the picture, there are only 4 slots for strings.

Mine broke too. I e-mailed the company and they told me that you can not buy the center nut by itself. So I guess we are stuck just buying new slicers. Doesn't make sense that they make the slicer and you can't buy the center nut if it breaks.

Yes, you need to remove the plastic. Try to be careful, so you don't ruin any strings.

I believe I cut it off with tin snips. A heavy-duty pair of scissors should work.

There is not a plug at the end of the string. The string terminates at a bulb.

Yes, the nut is the very first place that I would look. I really enjoy the quick string changes of the locking tuners, but I've never felt that they helped any of my guitars stay in tune much better. The bridge and the nut are the most important in my opinion. You've got a new bridge so I'd look into a new nut. They're cheap, but you'll want to be careful to cut it correctly if you don't have it done by a good tech.

No but just center the neck and bridge for center and then the neck size in specks tells you how many inches from nut to bridge.... Email me again if you need more help ...randy

I'm unsure what your question is asking...I will suggest the following - I will purchase just the string next time. I found the spool was poorly wound such that I had to unwind it to free the string from excessive overlapping. I then manually reattached the string and have had no issues since.

I seem to remember it be in in the 12-14 range when I checked one fresh to answer the same question. However, to get a proper fit and action the slots will have to be filed down a bit no matter what, these TUSQ nuts start out very tall to allow for use in on a wide variety of guitars. I have had to sand off a good deal from the bottom and drop the individual slots on every one that I have installed. If you don't care about your action at the nut then you probably dont need to worry about the radius either, just drop it in there and go nuts (bad pun).

They are correct ti came with no string attached. It wasn't a deal breaker for me as I would have removed it anyway but don't buy expecting it.

You might want to reedit your answer, since the end cut off. If it is missing a piece you need to contact the seller. If you are having problems with putting it together, I suggest reading some of the reviews and watching a few Youtube videos... they will show you what you are doing wrong.

Not being cut but pulled out of the clip.There are like 4-5 small wires. Got new clip and tool reattached new clip plugged it in workes great.

Do you still have the nut? Maybe you can take it to the hardware store and get the same thing. Otherwise you probably have to order it from Black and Decker.

The nut may be clogged, or the brass hole may not have been drilled out all the way.Either way, unscrew the brass nut and make sure there are 2 holes.
