OK so this is probably the lockdown talking and nothing will come of it....
Got my first electric guitar last week and already thinking upgrades
But obviously must be DIYable
It's one of these
https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/electric-guitars/telecaster/squier-fsr-bullet-telecaster-in-butterscotch-blonde-uk-exclusive and mainly used for quiet playing with headphones.
Pickups are fine, at least to my ears.
Nut: this is quite soft plastic and I'm playing heavier strings than were supplied (11s as opposed to 9s). I ran the ends of the new strings through a few times to open the slots a little
but that's obviously not the best solution. Can I get a decent nut with teh right width slots and then drop it in? Or is it more complex?
Tuners. Maybe I'm spoiled with my acoustics that have Grover or Gotoh but the tuning seems very sensitive going from sharp to flat quiet quickly (but that could also be down to the nut).
Thoughts?

im on the same line, room full of acoustics so though I would buy an old squire to mess around with. Likely will be for sale soon. 3 times I’ve done this now with no sign of me learning my mistake
