Look after your nuts

Post by Jondog » Sat Feb 17, 2018 2:38 am

My latest guitar aquisition is a Gretsch Electromatic Silver Sparkle Pro Jet. Great guitar for a great price. Intend to do a few upgrades to it and the first one I’ve done is replace the cheap plastic nut with a Tusq and right away theres a big improvement. Have had the guitar a few months so I’ve gotten to know it in it’s stock form and always felt it was a bit dead even though it sounded great. Thought it was just nature of the beast. Lots more sustain, chords ring out, has more attack and is more fun to play! Been a long time since I bought a guitar that came with a plastic nut so wasn’t sure what to expect. Didn’t help the plastic nut is also hollow inside!

Also a PSA

For men ages 15-44, it is the most commonly diagnosed cancer. The average age of diagnosis is 33, but 7% of cases are diagnosed in men 55 or older and 7% of cases are diagnosed in boys and adolescents.


Signs and symptoms of testicular cancer include:
A lump or enlargement in either testicle.
A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum.
A dull ache in the abdomen or groin.
A sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum.
Pain or discomfort in a testicle or the scrotum.
Enlargement or tenderness of the breasts.
Back pain.

Pic’s or it didn’t happen.
About the first thing, I mean.
Not the second, PSA thing.
I’ll take your word for that.

File size is too big to post. Theres a thread on here somewhere with pics of the guitar. I included a pic of the plastic nut.
