    I didn't have to pay any extra when it turned up. I just went over the purchase invoice and my paypal payments, and it was just the one single charge at the checkout. You should be all good!

    After a small amount of research I've disovered these "nut file sets" are essentially repurposed welding tip cleaners. I think I might spring for a proper guaged file set for my next build.

    Nut slotting files for bone bridges

    So I've got a bone bridge that I swapped onto my tele, and it needs the slots to come down by a good amount, maybe 0.5 to 0.8 of a mm.

    I bought one of these nut file sets.

    This is the end result, and the front and back with the Gotoh 510's installed. It doesn't look great, but it's better than awful holes in the back of the headstock. And I got the tuners on straighter...
