I need to replace the nut on a Fender Sonoran SCE. This model: http://shop.fender.com/en-US/acoustic-g ... ml#start=1

What part number(if possible) should I buy, and where would be the best place to buy it from?

What's wrong with the nut? Maybe it just needs to be adjusted or the string slots recut. BTW it doesn't have to be a Fender replacement nut.

yeah did it literally break?

If you do indeed need a replacement, it looks to be a bone nut (per specs). I wouldn't replace it with anything less than another bone nut or graphite.

In most cases, a new nut needs some fine adjusting before it fits the guitar perfectly. Based on your question, I'm not sure you have experience on this kind of jobs.
So: take it to a good pro for a 1) setup, if the nut just isn't right for the current strings or 2) nut replacement if the nut is missing or broken (#2 normally includes setup).
