It has been a while ... String nut question

[dalep]

It has been a while since I have been here. I am at the point where I need to replace astring number on my 1995 Studio (gratuitious picture below). Is it possible to order a OEM type nut anymore? If not, will I need to get a total blank and make it or can I order one pre-roughed in and finish it out. I can, and have, done both fine. I was just hpoing I could save some time and not have to do the from scratch thing.

I like the nut custom when I do them-so I build them...I think neck width on the hamer if its not 1 11/16 make it hard to find pre-made

oh and I love the studio...I love the wrap tails

The width appears to be between Gibson and Fender someplace (1.65"). So I think you are correct I will just have to build it if there is not an OEM distributor any more.
