This involves removing your old nut, and installing, shaping, slotting, and polishing a new nut. Most guitars today come with cheap plastic nuts that are poorly cut, causing buzz, string binding, and even intonation problems. I start with a solid block of bone or if you wish, a synthetic material such as Tusq, Graphite or Slipstone. Next, I carve, slot, and shape the nut. Then I polish it to a crystal like shine so it will function perfectly and look beautiful. |
