The nut required some sanding to fit perfectly, but not too much. I noticed that Tusq saddle looked a bit better with less mold lines than NuBone, and I was able to clean it with my nail. The height was also exactly the same as the factory saddle, so I just swapped the saddle and it was ready to go. I was prepared to do some sanding to fit the new saddle, but it was a perfect fit right off the bat. I wanted to start with cheap, easy and reversible mods first, so I ordered a Tusq saddle (model “PQ-9200-C0”) and Tusq nut (model “PQ-6116-00”) that was suggested by Graphtech support as a direct replacement. Being a DIY addict, I soon started making changes here and there to make it even better. Back then I posted this review of the guitar. About six months ago I bought the mini to use it during my stay in the states and try to fly it back home to Serbia.
