the hand of john curley Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi guys, So-I defretted an old encore as a project and am really happy with it, filled slots with veneer, profiled, lemon oiled.....it's really nice. I then decided in my wisdom to change - rather than file down- the nut....and it the prices of removing said nut, chipped the wood on the neck directly behind the nut 😩 I managed to salvage it, reattached it and all is good....however, I now need to fit the replacement nut.....would I be better just filling the space left by the previous nut and then cutting and filing to fit or should I use the existing slot and file away to fit? The new nut is a std height so needs quite a bit off the bottom of it to bring it down to fretless height...... Not sure any if this makes sense-but any tips/advice would be hugely appreciated ! Cheers! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manton Customs Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 If I'm understanding right- you are asking should you file where the nut sits, or the nut itself to reduce its height. If that's the question then the answer is file the bottom of the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
