changing nut on dean ML 79

[Zakk Amott]

Hi ,

I bought a New dean ML 79 (korean model) and the nut is overfilled .
So I want to replace it by a TUSQ one made by graphtech .

But I search in all the models and I can't find one who fit perfect .


Here is the mesures of my nut :

width : approx 6.1/6.2 mm
height :between 8.8mm and 9.2 mm
E to E : approx 34.9/35.1 mm

If someone as already do this modification with the same guitar, which reference as he picked ?

Thanks .

E to E : approx 34.9/35.1 mm

don't measure it from e to e, measure it from the very edge of the neck to the other edge, thats gonna tell you if its 11/16th inch or 5/8ths

I'm pretty sure it's 1" and 11/16th inches (43mm) like most of Deans.

Yeah it's 1 11/16 nut .

the nut mesurement is 43.2 mm
