Last year I bought an Harley Benton Telecaster and I loved it right away. Today I'm going to make it even better by upgrading its weak spots like the tuners, the electronics and the plastic nut. I'm also going to mod the wiring with a 4-way switch and adding a "pickup in series" mode.
Wish me luck.
I know, I'm supposed to be an adult, but it's funny every single time I read it
Are you sure that's the right type though? I'd expect hb, like most modern strat/tele necks to use a flat bottom nut.
Tusq is a great choice in any case. I have those in a few different guitars and they've been brilliant. Not even a huge cost since it will probably last ages.
I had to sand it a little because it was a bit too thick, but height wise it's perfect. Now my big hands can play more confortably
I did the same thing on mine and it made my guitar actually playable.
Awesome. Nothing like an instrument you love becoming even nicer.
