Hello!
I bought a new Allparts JZMF-WBB neck. It has binding, so the nut doesn’t go all the way to the sides. I’m having a hard time telling what nut to buy - specifically from TUSQ. Anyone have any experience with this neck?

You will have to file any nut (both the slot depths and overall width/profile shaping) regardless. There is no such thing as a perfect 'drop in' nut in spite of their marketing.
Thing you need to check for, is it a flat or curved nut slot. From memory Allparts tended to match the slot to the fretboard radius but it's not listed on the specs for this particular neck and its been ages since I dealt with a new Allparts neck.

My Tele Bass neck had a matched radius nut slot which I learned the hard way when I filed the nut down and had to replace it. I’d check the slot to be sure before working it in.
