Question About LSR Nut...

[Strat Avenger]

Does anyone here remember the roller nut Fender put on their Strat Deluxe before they started using the LSR?
Wasn't it made by Wilkinson or Hipshot or something like that?  A friend of mine has one, and I am trying to get him interested in a Warmoth neck. He likes that roller nut, and I am wondering if it is the same size (or if the shelf is the same) as the LSR.

Anyone?...

I think your talking about the Wilkinson nut.  It is a lot wider than the LSR nut.  Fender sells a retrofit kit that allows you to put the LSR nut on necks that have the Wilkinson - the LSR's have been a lot more popular.  Here's a link to the retrofit kit:

That plastic piece covers the rest of the shelf that's left exposed because the LSR is so much smaller.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know.
