Custom Nut?

[AkeJay02]

I've been looking all over the place for a custom guitar nut that would allow me to put, instead of the standard 7-string combination to achieve a BEADGBE tuning, a 7-string combination of the standard six-string set, followed by around a .008 to be tuned up to G, so that I can achieve a CGCFADG tuning without affecting the tension and action so much, as that is the problem I've been dealing with a lot lately. Anyone know?

And what's the problem with using the nut you have now, do you feel the slots will be too wide?

[AkeJay02]

I'm kind of nervous about it, yeah. I had a friend who's slots weren't quite right, even though it wasn't the same situation, and he ended up having a big-*** crack run under the slot. It ruined the playing completely.

It should be fine, a high e is usually only about .010 anyway?

Damnit, why do I have to see shlt like this when I'm at work :eek:

I knew it was going to come out like that, too. I tried my best to stay away from the word "nut" in that post. It could've been worse, I guess.
