Extension Nut Suggestions Please?

Post by David Graziano »

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! Dave

Why does it have to be smaller than 1 7/8” (if you’re playing it like a lap guitar)?

These fit over any size. Used since the 1920s.

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

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