just wondering anyone on here from North of Adelaide who can give me a hand with some minor things?
Hey GF...
There must be a forum member in Radelaide that can help you..
Guys, can someone help out here please?
yeah it's just my nut is a bit high. i'm not confident in filing it down that much. but it's not that bad it's just my high e is a little bit dingy..
Wow...no one from Adelaide yet. sheesh!.
Gibson.Fender did you watch DB's video on how to file down the nut? It's pretty fool proof

Sorry I'm from Brisbane, I'm no luthier, but I've done my F style and G style nuts in accordance with this and they worked out brilliantly.
F and G style? can you please explainQuote:

have a look at the video link Andy40 posted.
It's really not that hard to sand down the bottom of a plastic nut - main thing is to have the sandpaper on a flat surface and hold the nut flat when you sand it. You should be able to remove the plastic nut with a pair of pliers
is that DB'S video? seemed straight forward. but then again..Quote:

Don't know how you would change your name. Yes that's Dingobass, resident luthier, in the video with bird. I've sanded the bottom of about 3 different bone nuts and they all have turned out fine. Its a matter of destringing the guitar, sanding, restringing then checking the gap on the 1st fret while depressing the string on the third fret. I also tune the guitar to pitch and check that it can hold open chords, G, E, A, Am, F and D in tune. Set aside an uninterrupted couple of hours, focus, take your time and you will be surprised at the results. When you've done, give yourself a golf clap, you'll never have to get someone else to do it for you again :cool:
Hi GF, you could message or email Adam is a moderator, he may be able to change your username, you might as well try keep the same account then we will know that the 29 posts you have posted is the same person as your new username (if that makes any sense) haha
Hi G.F, only just saw this. You may have it sorted by now but if not send me a PM and I'll see if I can help.
