42.85 mm, 10 inch radius its the correct size i need after 2 different Luthiers missed it.
10+ sizes & models. Is all of this really necessary ?
They need to streamline this platform.
 
$70? I thought they were like $30-40? Seems like you need a new luthier as they do have a chart online and make tools like radius gauges and calipers ?‍♀️

$55.99 plus tax & shipping. The GOP in my State passed a 9.7% internet tax its insane.
The guitar is a long story. First guy did a refret and botched it. Second guy fixed the frets. Nobody caught the wrong nut until me & a digital caliper and many [different] floyd size charts.
Got the right one after buying 2 cheaper Floyd knockoffs. They wernt the correct radius of course the ebay sellers dont tell you.
I was trying to avoid spending $50+ bucks on a nut but not happening.
Floyd #8 & #9 were the correct ones. 8 does not have the Fender bullet truss rod cutout. 9 does. I got 8.
Didn't even know about the cutout til today.

Damn, reminds me of when I lived in Nashville. Was like 9.25% sales tax in Davidson county, nuts. What state are you in? Maybe it's time to "shop local".

What's the world coming to when politicians are now taxing your nuts?

Tax here is 10%. The aholes at the Capital couldn't get voters on board with other taxes, so they added an additional $0.55/gallon to gas and make everyone pay for the ferries that the wealthy islanders use free of charge through car registration.

It's like 8% here and that is steep but no state income tax. Don't worry you still need petroleum jelly when you get your property tax bill though. They get you however they can. One day the bad people will pay all the taxes and get punished for not sending the Lord's tribute.

Same, no income tax here while property taxes grow out of control. I'm too embarrassed to say how much I pay on that end, but lets just say that it could probably cover all of the annual local road repairs that go ignored and then some. Instead they distribute the money to virtue signalling pet projects that always fail and unjustifiable government payroll increases. Anyways, probably should steer clear of the political talk, else this thread get banished to OTC.

No local shops have guitar parts to speak of.
Everyone orders online.
I ordered a 2nd push / push pot for my Kami cuz i liked the first one.
Mojotone fucked up and just sent my a regular 500K pot for $18 bucks.
Now i gotta go thru the hassle of a return and double shipping. At this point im just gonna pass on that.
