Question Where to buy Yamaha Ll16 ARE stock nut and saddle??

I attempted to adjust the nut myself and went too low. I bought a tusq 1 3/4 nut and the string spacing is different. I'd like to start over with the stock nut but can't seem to find it anywhere. A stock saddle would be nice too but I really want a nut! Anyone know where to buy it? Note: not a saddle that will work but the actual stock Yamaha saddle.. thanks!

Did you go too low on just one slot or on all the slots? Baking soda and super glue fill them in. Piece of cake. Personally, I prefer the wider spacing from the Tusq model.

I recall a few months ago someone saying they called Yamaha and were able to order nuts and saddles directly from Yamaha.

Was the original nut bone ?
You could file the bottom park and shim it with another piece.

I began to craft my own nuts and saddles last year. You could use whatever material you want. Just need files and patience.
