Hi John,

As a splice that is not under tension, should work fine. However, it
does offer the prospect of having to tune slightly differently because
of minimal addition of stray capacitance and inductance - depends on
the size of the nut and the pig-tail it creates. Chances are you
probably would notice the difference because there are so many other
more compelling factors to pay attention to.
