Replacing a (Rickenbacker) Nut Pt 2 and-a-HALF (of 3): Removing a Busted Nut

[@sdbanotts]

Great videos Sir. As someone who has removed a number of Ric nuts on my guitars, I can vouch for just what a task it is! The last one I did the nut was glued in on the bottom and the front facing to the fretboard, and took away the paint underneath despite my careful actions! Yikes! The design of how the nut is attached to a Ric has to be one of it's worst features in my opinion. My truss rod cover didn't actually sit up against the edge of the nut (and this was a brand new Ric in 2019) so was not a useful tool to hold it etc. I feel your pain when I saw half of the nut was left when you tapped it out! Appreciate the comprehensive videos and knowledge sharing. Cheers ,Scott.
