AS mentioned in my guitar pics thread.
I've got a westfield 'strat' type left handed guitar thats been sitting unused for a couple of years now ( I've tried giving it away to ppl who might use it, but no-one would take it
). I'll take some pics as and when I get the chance, to help describe my process and help with any questions I may have.
goals:
1.remove/replace ( or just turn round) the nut
2. restring
3. assuming I get the guitar to work at that point I will look at replacing/ re-orientating the pickups
I've replaced the nut on my old acoustic guitar, and that was just the case of using a stanley knife to free the sides of the nut from the neck and a pair of pliers to pull it free. I'd then turn it round and glue it back in place. I've had a look at it and it seems as though there should not be a problem with the shape of the nut itself, but I thought it best to at least ask someone who knows what they are doing first
