The nut on my SMT has cracked by the low E string, just enough so loud strums make it pop out of the slot.
I would like to replace it with a TUSQ nut, but there are really a lot of options when ordering.
I am thinking from the web page it is model PQ-1720-00, but if anyone here has replaced the nut recently, maybe they can recall the model number.

Call customer service at Ovation and ask them. They probably have the right one in stock.
