OVERVIEW
MAKING A NEW NUT
The design provides a systematic approach for making a new guitar nut. There are several unique features of the system including gauging of the nut slot depth which creates an accurate datum to work from. String spacing and nut filing adjustments can be undertaken without restrictions from the confines of the guitar by using an exact comparison of the instrument as a reference.
COPYING AN EXISTING NUT
The system can also be used to directly copy an existing nut. The old nut is placed in the jig with the string action plate fitted and the jig setting height is adjusted to align the bottom of the existing string slots with the template. The old nut can be removed and the jig is now set up to make a new nut.
