so... your friend dropped the guitar when you wouldn't flat out give it to them? i'd be expecting repair funds from their pocket, but then again i don't make friends with poop chutes.

weird that the local music stores aren't helpful. a replacement nut isn't complicated, normally pretty cheap, any kind of glue will help fasten it in place as well. i've used plain white school glue before (the strings hold it in place for the most part, the glue is mostly so it stays in place when replacing them).

missing part of the bridge is a bit more of an issue. is it just the sliver of bone that fits into the bigger part? or a couple of the pegs? or something completely different? again, replacement components shouldn't be that hard to find. worse case, get some steaks and a sharp knife and start whittling yourself a new bridge piece while you're digesting.
