Bridge nuts

Post by skeeterbuck »

I am looking to locate 6 of the bridge nuts that are used on the reissues with the roller bridge.

As we know, RIC doesn't sell these separately.

Also , what is the technical name for this type of nut? I would believe that it's some sort of locking nut.

It's a slotted aircraft-style locking nut.

That looks just like it John, but that one's almost almost two inches in diameter!

I was concerned a bit about this thread.....lots of Bridge Nuts in the SF Bay Area wind up (somehow) in the water...........and, of course, it's the bridge's fault....................

My error John H., I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like I'll be placing an order soon.

I like bridge nuts when the mix is heavy on the Brazil nuts and cashews, and light on peanuts and filberts. YMMV Image Image
