Robert where are you getting pr-cut Tusk nuts

I bought mine in a local music store.

[Tone2TheBone]

Pre-grooved Tusq nuts for Strats and Teles are great and are easy to install. They're the fix for stock miscut plastic nuts from Mexico.

There is an online store link here I found:

StewMac has a couple of pre-cut nuts:

Hey, let's stay on topic - feel free to start a new thread about nuts. Go nuts!

I wrote up my Fullerton Review here - with a picture even.

Hi Robert. Got the same guitar as your Fullerton, except mine is left-handed. Where would I find a pre-slotted Tusq nut or graphite nut for her, and can I replace the nut myself?

[Robert****]

You can get on of those nuts in most music store. Yes you can replace it yourself. An Exacto knife works well to cut around the nut in case there is laquer holding it in place. Then gently pry it up.

[WackyT]

Thanks Robert. There's a Musician's Superstore right down the street. I'll go down this weekend and see what they have.

I'm really not lookling for another S-S-S guitar, with my Strat and Nashville Tele, but I see they have a "Fat Fully" H-S-S model for $60 and free shipping. Very tempting! Anybody tried this one??

I still have the Lace Sensor Gold p'ups that came out of my Strat and a Gibson Classic '57 that came in my Epi Dot that I could use to upgrade from the stock Fullerton p'ups....

DVM, that is the one I purchased. I reviewed it above, and submitted a newbie review (basically a copy of the above post), here:

Bottom line, a good starting point for mods, and not bad just to have as an extra as is. As Robert says, the PUPs are a little thin and muddy, the frets on mine needed some cleaning up, and the action adjusted. Other than that, really impressed for the price. BigK also picked up the Fully ST4 HSS. He commented earlier in the thread.

[duhvoodooman***]

Geez, a brain is a terrible thing to waste, huh?

That's right, now I remember you bought the H-S-S version, as did BigK. Guess I forgot about that after reading the recent stuff on the S-S-S version. I'll go back & re-read the comments you guys posted.

I certainly don't expect Fender CS quality (or MIM quality, for that matter!) for $60, so even with the minor annoyances/deficiencies you mention, these guitars seem like a steal. And with a little work, you should be able to turn one into a very nice playing & sounding instrument. I may just buy one, tinker with it a bit, and throw it up on eBay to see what I can get for it!

Mine arrived on Friday (along with a $35.99 (39.99 - 10%) Fullerton Standard Solid Body Electric Guitar (Sunburst B-Stock but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it)) but I haven't had time to do much (just got home yesterday). Just wanted you to know that it does not have free shipping - I think that's left from when it was 99.99 - but with the 10% discount, it should be $59.94 shipped.

I made a video clip with my completely stock Fullerton Strat copy.. check it out!

The guitar completely rox for $44.99!

I have another part of this video where I use the Yellow Zonkin' Screamer with good results. I'll post that some other day.

Unless, of course, you would like to part with those Lace Sensor Golds!

[duhvoodooman***]

Well, I pulled the trigger and ordered one of those ST4's, a.k.a. the "Fat Fully", in the reverse red burst color. For $60 and the endorsement of so many respected ( ) Fretters, how can you go wrong???

P.S. MikeW, check your PM's....

No brainer for a master tinkerer like yourself. It is going to be my learning piece for tinkering. I plan to fix up the minor issues and learn simple stuff that way, then maybe mess around with push/pull pots, pups and whatever strikes my fancy. To do it on a decent quality piece that cost $44.99 before shipping is great. Better even than a $99 modder.

Can't wait until I sound even a percentage that good. I'm glad I got this guitar.

Pretty amazing Robert!
