PSG Nut
I have a 1960 model Sho-bud Maverick that has a slotted nut. Is it a better choice to have a nut with rollers or does the factory nut work just fine?
A fine instrument is like a lady. Treat it nice and it will make lovely music.

Re: PSG Nut
A roller nut won't break as many strings.

Re: PSG Nut
If you expand my avatar pic, you'll see a nut that is also a keyless tuner.

What Erv said.
Not worth modifying the Maverick but something to look for when you migrate to a more comprehensive axe. That being said I gigged with my Maverick for close to 15 years before I could afford a pro guitar, so there's no rush to do move and no shame in standing pat. The positives of the simpler instrument include motivation to change strings more often and learning how to truly play the steel guitar before you start pushing a lot of pedals.
