Just aesthetics, if excessively long, but no big deal.

Thanks! That Grover from Allparts fits snug over the Guild nut.

Howdy from Upstate NY! All the typical available nuts are a little long, over extending the fretboard edge of my Guild P240, a pretty dull Spanish player, but a sweet lap slide. Is there a stash somewhere of nuts a little smaller than 1 7/8" wide, (inch and 5/8 E to E)? Big thanks for any leads...

Thanks! Wow! What a complex nuance!

Check this out, Doug.

Hey y'all. I just bought my first lap, a very cool '39 Epi Zephyr. The strings on it are old and worn smooth, but they played. Being dopey about this guitar universe, I didn't even think ahead to have strings ready, so I slapped on some slightly used Martin Tony Rice steel (no bronze) 13-56 acoustic...

Brought a smile to my flatpickin' face. What's your tuning?

Howdy. Just joined after buying this little gem, but I mostly flat pick acoustic country blues/Americana stuff. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Epiphone-Lap-Steel-Electar-Zephyr-w-Original-case-Clean-500/302653517395 I've never considered buying a lap steel, just always played an old chunk of wood built by...
