Slotted nylon nut for Vintage Gibson Les Paul Guitars original 50's spacing

Description

Precision CNC machined nylon string nut sized to fit vintage Gibson® Les Paul® model guitars.
Made from high quality Nylacast Nylon 6 to match the original injection molded nut.
Slightly oversized to accommodate fitting (required) to the individual guitar. String spacing is a replica of the unique string layout from the molded nylon OEM nut used in the 50's and 60's.
The slots are precisely cut for
a 12" radius fretboard and 17 degree headstock.
Nylon is difficult and time consuming to cut and shape especially when starting from an oversized rectangular blank, these nuts will provide accurate string slots and save time.
The Vintage 50 model is intended for use on vintage guitars where the original 50's OEM string layout is desired.
The string slots are sized for an 11-52 set.
These are new revised parts that have slightly more clearance in the string slots.
