F30 Nut Job

[jedzep]

All the talk of late about old guy shoulders and fat fingers led me to the parts drawer where I pulled out a spare Martin bone nut with a hair under inch and 1/2 string spacing, and reshaped it to the size and shape of the '63's original nut, with it's aggravating inch and 3/8 spread. Just a rough fix for now, but I was so pleasantly surprised to have it work just fine with noticeable improved hand comfort. I'll get my luthier to craft a permanent replacement with set up. Surprisingly, plenty of room for the two E strings. A good move for you alte kakers who are suffering with your beloved old narrow spaced Guilds.

jedzep,
Did you have to keep a cone on headstock for a couple of days after the nut job?
Our son's young cat had his nut job last week and wore one for about three days after.
Just wondering.

Hah! This is all funny and hitting close to home, but I really meant it to help you guys who are trying to live with their undersized nuts. Coincidentally, I'm recovering from a bilateral hydrocelectomy. Look it up and you'll know why I'm home playing with my F30.

For pictures of my stitches you'll have to PM me. No cone!

Yikes! No need to look it up - I had that "issue" as a result of hernia surgery! No cone for me either!

jedzep,
Not really in a rush to see photos of your scrotum, with or without stitches. But thanks for offering.
And as for the size of my nuts, they seem to be just about as large as they need to be, so I'm not having having any trouble living with them. If that changes, I know how to reach you.
