I recently found a Lyle 3/4 size classical Model 601 at a garage sale but it needs the plastic bridge at the top of the fretboard. Does anyone know where you can get parts for this instrument? Thanks!
A nut is made by filing a blank to custom fit a specific guitar; you don't just buy them off the shelf. You just need to find a luthier locally and let him install a new nut. Ask at your local music store. Most music stores these days act as pickup/drop off sites where a luthier collects and returns guitars he works on. Some stores have a repairman on site, but this arrangement seems to be dwindling.
It's been awhile since I've had this done, but I'm thinking it is a $25-$35 repair.
