Recently purchased a 2024 LP from Wildwood music. I was chatting with a friend who has the same issue that I do. We love the playability and tone so mine is staying with me. We both have a nut that looks capped. As if the top of the nut and slots are glued onto an existing nut. I recent changed my strings and couldn't pull my b string out of the nut that looks like the back of the b slot melted out toward the headsto

I'm considering building a 6G3 circuit. But before I do a friend has dropped a 2016 JTM45 off. He had up ratted cap's, choke OT - Choke. KT66. Sound and feel's nice enough to play. I can get crunch but needs to be loud. That said the bottom end is too flabby but the Rev Billy G early 70's tone I love. Been reading about Ted b mod too on here. Any magical thing I can do or would a 1987x be a better ?

Thanks in advance
