hello to all chordie users,i have remooved the plastic nut from my lamaq grand concert
[ it was worn through] i would like to replace it with a tusq or a bone one could you
tell me where i could buy one in the u.k. thank you.
thank you tibernius for taking the time to help me i have visited the site you
recommended and i am sure i will find what i am looking for.
I found it a while back, when I was finding out how much it would cost to build my own guitar.
He's a few more links:

And the only place I have found Tusq parts:
when i removed the old plastic nut from my guitar,it broke and left a lot of plastic and
glue i heated the end of a screwdriver on a ring on my cooker and pushing from either
end of the fingerboard [not from the centre outwards to avoid damage to the fingerboard] it was a easy task to prepare for the new nut. i hope this helps anyone else who is about to do this. thanks again tibernius
No problem, and thanks for the tip about removing the nut. I'll have to remember that.

Keep in mind that the screwdriver is hot and if you touch any part of your neck it will mar your finish. Take a razor blade and score the two sides ot the nut and then the bottom of the ends of the nut (run the blade the legnth ot the nut) then get a small punch and tap the nut very lightly it should break the bond. Then take the razor and scrap the nut slot clean. Put your broken nut back together so you can get the correct radius and height of your new nut before you replace it.
Good luck.
Bootlegger.
thats good advice bootleger and i used a craft knife to score the outline of the nut before i started to remove it,but the person who assembled my guitar must have had a couple of tubes of glue he wanted to use up,so thats why i used the hot screwdriver method.
