Got drunk left a 72 Les Paul at the party we were performing at…gone. Took a early 70s strat in for minor repairs told the repair shop I’d be back in 30 days to pick it up and pay…was 3 days late and the owner said that was 3 days too long and had sold it…all over a $50 bill. There are other stories that involve losing a music man stack, selling a late sixties bandmaster for $100, lost a silver face champ at gig, and the list goes on and on and on. As tragic as all these are the worst was a friend of mine hard up for cash sold a late 50s dot neck 335 for less than $200 and before he even got out the door it was sold for over $10K to Rick Nelson from Cheap Trick.

Warwick JAN is too wide. Got a GraphTech on the way.

Damn. They have a lot of aftermarket ones available too.

Yeah! Seems like a nice nut brand.
However… I got the nut sanded and fitted, easy peasy, and yet - it’s about 1.5mm too short. It’s the tallest one they make, too.
I shimmed it with shims I made out of three business cards, and it worked, but it seems super marginal; not sure what to do.
I mailed Yamaha to see if I can just buy an OEM part from them.

Decided to shim the graphtech and use it while waiting on Yamaha. Seems to work fine! A couple business cards did the trick.

@Tokyo_Rat I think you might be the winner. That’s a really long list of expensive mistakes.

Did you end up leaving that shimmed nut in there or did you get the original from Yamaha??

Sticking with the shimmed nut for now, it’s working fine.
