Sure you don't mean the nut? That is what the slotted plastic thing is usually called ...
Like in the diagram, at the top of this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=7852 If it is the nut you can probably get a spare one from many places. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Right - over the nut, and under the tree (not all guitars have them) Good luck ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Yeah,that's tree but maybe there's no need for it?
If headstock has small angle regarding to whole neck you really don't need it,like Les Paul per example. Can't see if that's that type of the neck from these pictures tho... But if you do need it I really don't know where to find it.

I googled pictures of this model and can't see it does have a "tree" so you must be the nut. Cost a couple dollars on eBay

When you get the new nut it should be relatively easy to fit. I think the main thing to be aware of is spend time to get it located properly or you'll have problems potentially with strings binding. From the pic it looks like you'll have to glue/bond it in place. You might have to cut the string holes in the nut a little just to stop the strings binding.
