    Re: "Extreme Shaped Guitars" Talk And Recommendations

    One of my favorite guitars to play because it’s comfortable, sounds awesome, and has a fantastic neck, is a “Hide” model Fernandes Mockingbird...

          You would probably like one of mine. It's so ergonomic it makes a Strat feel like a Les Paul by comparison. These pictures don't really show how it wraps around your body and just becomes an extension of you.

              Wow, that's impressive! Not my thing stylistically, but I can see that being super comfortable!

                My Brian Moore is concave. This pic isn't mine, but you can see how it is curved.

                    I just looked at the graph tech website and didn’t see any compensated nut there. It sure looks like one though.

                      They sell 'em on Squeebay. Just some plastic strips w/ double sided tape.

                        Have you installed one in your shop?
                        I'm curious as to how well they work

                        The roller nut I put on the daphne blue strat ain't working out
                        It's one of the WD versions with two strings per roller

                        Like this one
                        US $4.62 16%OFF | 1 PCS Electric Guitar Roller Nut Adjustable Chrome Black Gold


                        The high E won't stay in the groove when bending

                        Thinking about an LSR
                        Should mount on the same shelf
                        Had to cut the fretboard back 3mm to set the break angle for the WD nut.
                        The LSR has a similar offset

                        The one pictured above would cover the cutout entirely
                        Curious

                          Nope.

                          That will NOT work. Obviously, 6 rollers is the way to go.

                            It's not the rollers that are the problem
                            The string slots are too shallow for the high E

                              Sorry for the late reply, guys.

                              No you can't get that nut anywhere. It's definitely NOT Graph Tech nor Earvana. It's my own design compensated nut (way better than Earvana or anything else on the market. I tried them, and was not quite satisfied with them, before I started making them. I make them out of bone. This one drops right into a Strat, but I make them for Gibson types as well. I also make a 1/4" wide nut for Strat that I like better than this one, but requires the slot to be widened which means you can't go back to a standard Strat nut (which is actually OK since you wouldn't ever want to go back after using a compensated nut).

                                Sorry Goob. Wrong again. WAY WRONG!

                                You really shouldn't post such garbage that you don't have a clue about.
