Warmoth nut slot bottom? Flat or curved?

OK, here's the oddball question of the day.

Are the nut slot bottoms on Warmoth necks flat, or curved?
Or does it depend upon the fingerboard radius?
Or the neck type (Vintage, Vintage Modern, etc)?

But since there seems to be a few questions about nuts recently, maybe it's not so odd after all.
And not that it's a major deal either way, but it's just something to know.
If you happen to install a pre-slotted TUSQ nut, many of them are designed for either a flat or a curved bottom anyway.

Thanks in advance.

From my experience, they are flat.  Flat as a pancake, baby!

'course I have not had a new neck in some time.  YYMV and all that.

They're all flat. Warmoth changed over from that about 9-10 years back.

I concur - they're flat. I've fabbed up lots of 'em. Handy tip - if you have a capo laying around doing nothing, it makes for a dandy nut clamp while you wait for the glue to harden.

I concur also and as Freddie might have said to Brian, flat bottomed nut slots make the rocking world go round...
