Two questions:
1) How to remove the existing head nut of a T-60 safely ?
2) Where to find a replacement. [either wonder-plastic or metal] ..but hopefully the same size.
I'm getting the idea that the neck on a T-60 is slightly narrower, than most other guitars, and I have been unable to find a replacement nut with the same dimensions of the stock one, [that somebody filed-down crooked, before I got it--the Big E is buzzing from the first fret, on.]
Any ideas?
Thanks,
J.
T-60 Head Hut needs replacing--where to get?
Re: T-60 Head Hut needs replacing--where to get?
Hi Funnybone,
I'm actually in the same situation as you... I have a T-60 that needs a new nut. I'm fairly certain the string spread at the bridge is identical to a USA Telecaster, and I know the neck heel dimensions are identical to a Tele, so I'd assume the spacing at the nut would be similar too. I'm considering this one: https://www.amazon.com/Graph-Tech-Fende ... B003HGQTIG
RE: removing your nut safely. Same procedure as most other guitars... gentle taps with a screwdriver and hammer. There are plenty of YouTube videos demonstrating if you're nervous about it.
Let me know which nut you decide to go with!

Well-- I'm nervous about that curved shape on the bottom-- I'm assuming the stock one is flat. ..being machined metal.
This is the closest that I found:
GraphTech- TUSQ [PT-1728-00 is 1/16 longer & 1/16 wider, E-E] [width may be a tad thin, at 1/8" if it is exact. mine was 1/8+
Being longer, could be sanded easily. ..but I didn't bring the guitar with me to see if a 1/32" wider E-E would be fatal, or not. so I ended up here.
I'll be gone for 2-5 days, but will get back to you, ..need to find something else to play, while that one is dismantled.
Good luck,
