1999 RG 470 info

[Erol]

Hey,

I have a lefty rg 470

I'm going to get rid of the LO-TRS bridge and replace it with an OFR

I looked all over the net and my "instruction manual" and can't find one peice of info.

I would like to know what the 'nut width' [inches] of my guitar is.
any help would be apreciated

thanx,

Erol

43mm is not absolutely but called 1 11/16"

[Erol]

Thank you so much!

there is another dilemma,
so sorry to ask

but the site im buying from has these two choices

For 1-11/16" Nut width Narrow


For 1-11/16" Nut width Wide

is this a preferece or is there a specific one?

thnx

[Rich]

Those are locking nuts?!

[Erol]

hey,

yeah,

im afraid to post the site i dont want to violate any rules but yes this is for OFR nut width's

[Rich]

Never heard of a locking nut described as wide or narrow, I'd write them and tell them you need a 43mm and ask which.

[Erol]

thank you very much for you help!


for anyone else that may know... i got this from frose.com

Nuts Metric
Nut #1 - Neck Width 1-9/16" - 10" radius 39.7mm
Nut #2 - Neck Width 1-5/8" - 10" radius 41.30mm
Nut #3 - Neck Width 1-11/16" - 10" radius-42.90mm narrow string spacing
Nut #4 - Neck Width 1-11/16" - 10" radius----42.90mm wide string spacing
Nut #5 - Neck Width 1-3/4" - 10" radius 44.45mm

[Rich]

BTW radius matters more than anything, 430mm [near 17"]

[Erol]

wow........ this is very complicated.

well i guess i dont have much choice..... OFR's are 10 im guessing from the site.

anyway i cna find specs for my guitar? i even checked ibanez.com


thansk again for your help Rich!

[Rich]

Which specs?

[Erol]

for my 1999 ibanez rg 470 (left handed)

incase i call and they ask for other info.

[Rich]

Like I asked, which specs?

[Erol]

oh sorry i was wondering if there was a general list.

nevermind!

i guess i have to most important info
Nut width: 43mm (11 1/16)
radius: 430mm (17'')

i just wanted to get it right b/c the nut on my current guitar is just a little too small but it still works.

didn't want to buy a whole new locking system and have a short nut.

[Rich]

AFAIK the only way to put a better nut on it is put a JEM/MIJ RG nut on it.

[Erol]

ahhhhhhhh i see.........



wouldn't know where to find those

and since im already buying the bridge it comes with a nut anyways
