ABM 6220 Webster Nut ST Style

Min guitar har fra fabrikken haft en buzz lyd som virkelig har været slem at høre på.

Pros:
- hver streng kan hæves og sænkes uafhængig af hinanden
- nem justere under alle forhold
- Slidstyrken er bedre end plastik/elfenben
- giver guitaren et mere pro look

Cons:
- kræver tålmodighed at installere, pga. den buet underside og dens bredde
- er lidt for lav, så der skal limes en lille buet forhøjning på
- skruerne går helt igennem, hvilket gør det svært at lime den på

Konklusion
Er den hele besværet værd ? Oh yes, det er den i stor grad. Jeg kan varmt anbefale at skifte fra en almindelig plastik/elfenben Nut til denne messing Nut med justerbare skruer.

Fed nut, der giver mulighed for at tilpasse højden på hver enkelt streng.

Har installeret den på en telecaster, med godt resultat. Man skal dog lige være opmærksom på, at man skal bore/fræse huller til skruerne på undersiden af nut'en, ellers kan skruerne ikke skrues ordenligt i bund.

Materialet giver en helt særlig og meget klar, spanky lyd på guitaren. Og så kan guitaren justeres med meget lav action på grund af muligheden for at tilpasse den idividuelle strengehøjde.

Kan klart anbefales som et eksperiment for nysgerrige grejhoveder!

I've had to modify the end of the neck to make this item fit (plus mark up and drill 6 holes) to accommodate the individual screws as they go down. The whole point about this item is to be able to install it with enough adjustment room to start low enough and then go lower. I can't see any way of using it therefore without doing the modifications above. This is ok for me (I do guitar set ups and put this on te neck of a guitar I'm building) but will be beyond the average player.

On top of that I'm looking for such a low action at the 1st fret (0.3mm typically) that it is almost impossible to install this in such a way as to ensure that height ends up half way on the screw setting (to allow for some up and some down). Right now I am just hoping I've installed it low enough - but I'm only going to find out when I finished the guitar body and installed the neck onto it. Still - I'm hopeful.

But the point here is that IF it doesn't work out for me then the above modification means an unusable neck (due to having to cut an extra step into the fingerboard surface to get this item low enough above the fretboard.

So I can't exactly recommend at this point and will come back and update - but despite all the above I'm happy to be trying it out as it *may* be an interesting solution to a MAJOR set up/intonation problem found on nearly all guitars :-)

UPDATE: I came back to the neck I'd installed this nut on a year later only to realise I'd put it in back to front. Duh. But even when I turned it round the right way I could see that when fitted it STILL wouldn't give me the low 1st fret action I require on my guitars. Since the low 1st fret action is one of the most important parts of my setups I couldn't see the point of installing something that gave me less control than before so I shelved it and reverted to a workable bone nut instead.

Do I recommend...not exactly.
