I asked a Graph Tech representative for the correct drop-in Black Tusq nut for the Tribute ASAT Junior II, response is as follows:
"Thanks for getting in touch!
So the nut you'll want to go with will be the PT-5042-00. It should be a drop in replacement, has the length and radius exactly like you need!

Hope that answers your question!

I ordered one and will be installing it as soon as it arrives. If anyone is interested in the results, I'll report back.
I might be looking at locking tuners and some CTS pots (I know the current holes may need to be widened) as well. If anyone has some tips for that, I'd be grateful. And yes, the stock configuration is okay as-is, but I prefer locking tuners and I actually enjoy the stupidity of swapping things like pots and wiring. I know I'm weird.

The Buckshot is far and away the best feeling and playing guitar I have ever owned, and I've been through a fair share. Reverend does some funky things with wiring and pickup selections, so as much as I love how it feels, it's not the end-all/be-all instrument. I wish I could combine the tones I'm getting from the ASAT Junior with the feel/setup/playability of the Reverend, but then again, it's kind of fun having multiple guitars. I've looked at the Reverend Charger 290 which has two P90's and the same body shape as the Buckshot, but it's nearly twice what I paid for the ASAT and I don't like the current color combinations.
I'd highly recommend checking out Reverend if you get a chance, though. Great customer service and excellent axes that compare favorably with anything I've played.
