lownote Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Anyone got any tips on how to remove a nut which is embedded in a slot in the fingerboard, as against being simply glued on the end? Edited July 7, 2019 by lownote12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Wishbone Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Using a hacksaw, saw a slot in the nut lengthways along the top (the bit with the string slots in). Saw as far as you can without going all the way through the nut into the neck. Then, using a small piece of scrap wood against the side of the nut, give it a couple of taps with a hammer. The nut should collapse and lift out easily. Obviously this does mean you'll need to fit a new nut, which presumably is why you're removing it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
