What are you hubcap guitar builders using for a nut for three strings on a broom stick neck? I've seen pics of different kinds of bolts and systems. The more "ready to use" it is on the hardware store shelf, the better :) I am getting into my first hubcap build and looking at nut options.Thanks.

I've used a hose clamp on a diddley bow I made with broomstick neck.  I don't know if it is big enough for three strings, but they're very inexpensive and really easy to put on.

Thanks. I use hose clamps on my one stringers. Depending on the clamp, it just might fit three strings. If not, maybe glueing "something" on top of it could word. 

I have to check the Pick one. That's basically something I've had in mind, but would like to see some examples. 

basic idea

Cool. Thank you. I think that's the way I'm gonna go. 

cheers
