Rickenbacker Top Nut Replacement


Recommended Posts

Hiya mate, sorry to be the bearer.......

I aked the same question of several graphtec stockists and the answer was a unanimous, none fit sadly.
I was pretty p****d as well.

Might be worth having a word with your local super luthier and getting a custom,bone, graphite, brass whatever.
Realistically it will hurt at first but you will get donkeys out of it.
I haven't got mine done yet but was quoted £40 for brass custom nut, fitted.

Good luck,
Karl.

Got advised by a mate that the Graphtech PT-1200 is the perfect one for a Rickenbacker 4001 and 4003

Here's a link to one on the Graphtech site for you - [url="http://www.graphtech.com/products.html?SubCategoryID=58"]http://www.graphtech.com/products.html?SubCategoryID=58[/url]

Much cheaper and much more reliable as they help your strings glide through

Oh right, Well, ignore my previous post then haha
I was told theyre the right one as theyre the same width, height and thickness. but obviously there's something else to the Rickenbacker top nut that makes them un-clonable.

Thanks for the advise though, i think i shall have one made like you said =D
