How do you intall an LSR roller nut?

There are two critical measurement for installing an LSR roller nut. (1) The distance from the CENTER of the balls on the nut to the CENTER of the first fret, and (2) the depth of the cutout, which determines the string height at the first fret. This measurement will also depend on fret height and desired action height (personal preference).

One means of getting these distances is to measure them, with a precision caliper, on a guiter in the fender store. Then, dupilicate them on your guitar.

There are variations in nut dimensions and fret widths, so be sure you measure from the CENTER of the balls and first fret for measurement (1).

From there, you will need to make measurements of your nut to determine the cutout dimensions for the nut.

If this sounds complicated, then it would be best to take it to your local luthier. Beware, though, that it is not recommended that you take it so someone that has not installed one before. Even experienced professionals screw up thier first attemts at such installations. I know! I have been the unlucky customer of such screw ups all too many times. If your local professional had not done it before, find someone who has.

Good luck! You will love the LSR nut! It is, by far, the best modification to the strat since SRV's use of a left hand tremelo on a right hand strat!
