You could do like I do - LEAVE IT, and don't replace it - because a 2019 has a super hard plastic nut that has almost exactly the same properties as bone, not cheap like the old ones...... What model is it? I strongly try to sway anyone from changing a nut......
I almost always replace the junky looking plastic nuts on my guitars with bone nuts. I think I’ve replaced nuts on all my guitars.
I replace them if and when they need replacing, which is less often than most here seem to think. I usually use Tusq these days.
Then you don't need a new nut, the new Affinity comes with a synthetic bone nut that is super hard and durable.....
I've never done it once, and have owned over 100 guitars.....never had any issue with any nut in my life.....
How's bout Aged beef leg bone.... Buy a beef round... Strip the meat... Jerk it Cook the bone for sock.... Lay it in the sun(2,3,4) years.... Make Nuts for Every strata talk member...
I've cut plenty, but only a few for my own guitars. They were mainly on acoustics and mandolins, usually because they'd worn too low or been damaged, one because the string spacings were wrong from the factory.
No issue mostly for me. I just don’t like the way they look. Functionally they’re good to go. You and I are aligned there.
