Where does Gibson Custom Shop source their nylon nuts from?

I need the same nut as on my 2014 Custom Shop LP.

Thx!

Sometimes you feel like a nut ( I actually need a nylon nut ) Almond Joys got nuts , Mounds don't . Thanks for posting the info about Historic Makeovers .

Rand's Nylon nuts are Great! He sent me some to try out about 2-3 years back and they're really nice! I have worked on guitars for the last 44 years and nuts can be a real pain to make from scratch. His CNC nuts are perfect. You may need to file a little off the sides as no two Gibson's have ever had the same exact width at the nut. Always slight variances.. but the neck is usually hand finished..

Gibson won't sell you a nut?

No, Gibson didn't offer to sell me a nylon nut.

Also, Gibson wouldn't reveal where they source their nylon nuts from (proprietary info they told me).

PS: I'd prefer to use a Gibson spec Nylon nut because I know from experience that they sound great and keep my 2014 Custom Shop LP in perfect tune with ZERO issues

Rand's look exactly like the original Gibson nuts. Sorry, but Nylon 6 is Nylon 6. I don't know if anyone other than Dupont makes Nylon..
