eenymason Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 measure the nut on your 700 - and here is the info on graphtech sizes: http://www.graphtech.com/products/brands/black-tusq-xl/black-tusq-xl-guitar-nuts to fit, take out your 700 nut, and place the tusq next to it to work out how much to sand down. place sandpaper on a flat surface and VERY carefully keeping it square, sand down to same height. Edit: measure your string gaps - this is more important than total nut width - I sanded down the ends of the nut also, taking off maybe 5-6mm off the total width (2-3mm each side) My graphtech nuts are barely slotted - ie the strings sit "high in the saddle", so you need to take this into consideration working out the finished height of the nut. You could order 2 nuts just in case you take it too far, but I just kept trying it out to check for height, and then sanded a little bit more, etc At least this is what I did for my 600, and I guess translates to the 700 also, as long as the nut has a flat bottom - good luck. I did this actually for my 600, and then for two strat clones which received the guts of the 600 and a 300 respectively - see link: http://line6.com/support/topic/4383-best-graphtech-nut-for-my-600/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
