Just curious, but what material do you usually use for your nuts? I got to talking with some guitarist friends about the various materials out there, like bone, brass, corian, tusq, etc, but seeing as we never cut nuts, I don't really know what the difference would be.

[murkat]

I have some nice nuts

Gibson old stock 6/6 nylon, hard yet very slippery. great for warming it up a lil bit, great for Maestro's, bigsby's, etc.

Femur bone nuts, tight open chords.

Corian, oem nut material shit.

Old stock Mycarta. between corian and Bone

OFR floyd nut, Old Kahler locking nut (if I can find them...)

the rest, depends on what the customer wants on it.

But I usually stick to the above list.

[veatch]

That gold top is sick looking...

[singlehum]

Seems like you have the best job in the world, Jay. The commute must be hell, though...

That Vector looks pretty cool in natural.

[Ralph]

I'm excited to see how they turn out.

[Hamer Dave]

Nice hang.

[G Man]

The wood on the vector is indeed sweet. As nice as the white pearl is going to look, I'd be real tempted to go au natural on that one.

[Hamer Dave]

How 'bout some binding on that Vector?

Hunting and Fishing too..........a renaissance man.

[specialk]

I was just looking at that too. Nice wood.
