The nut - it's a simple little thing really, does not appear to
do much, except keep the strings in position (I suppose) and
that's about it - WRONG - go to jail.....

Believe it or not, this is how the nut
arrives. Mine again came from warmoth. This one is bigger
all over than what is needed and it is made out of some kind
of bone.
I Opted for the read deal because that's the way it's been
done for literally hundreds of years and some of the newer
materials colour the tone from the guitar. |
| Here's a shot of the later (much
later) finished nut. I achieved such a good fit in to the
groove that even right now that nut is not glued in to the
neck. It did take some time to get there and as you will see
in the assembly area of this site, this was by far the most
time consuming and difficult job to do correctly - that is,
unless you cheat. But I did not find the right tool until an
awful long way down the road to completion... |

Not much more to talk about here, but REMEMBER, if this is the
wrong material, or you get things wrong with this then you will
want to order another - hey, order two from the outset and you
won't have to wait around a week or two while the other one
arrives....
