Maybe. I failed shop, or close enough that no one trusts me with anything mechanical. If you let me know what you want measured I will do my best to do that for you on my '67. Pictures with arrows and circles would help, but I'm used to 1000 words.

thickess and height from middle(betw a&d strings)of headstock to the top/face of the bridge. Unless i can just use a gibson bass nut then it would be easy. Thanx.

PS the restore may end up a green burst. Im not sure i can get the patchs's to match. Im determined to have the grain show. I just ordered some CUBAN Mahogany for some body blanks............. :mrgreen:

No idea if this is what you asked for. I'll plead In vino, veritas if it's not what you need and try again.

The nut, the white thing holding/guiding the strings at the headstock end. Looking at it from the side it is 3/8 (left to right) wide and 5/8 (top to bottom) tall. It's 1 1/2 wide, after changing perspective. Between the A and the D string it is 31 inches from the saddles, on the bridge, to the face closest to the bridge. It is 8 inches from that same edge to the highest/furthest point on the headstock.
