Turns out the bridge was made by a third party; Graphtech - adjustable tusq bridge.
Maybe they have a solution.

Other option is to ask your local luthier to carve out a new piece in addition to replacing nut at the end of the neck.

Yeah,maybe.

I already bought the nut.The Gibson Les Paul is identical to the Godin.
