Bummer.

With the bone nuts you have used did you file the slots or were they buzzing from how they arrived? Sounds like nut string slots may have been made too wide & a touch low perhaps?

Yep, I filed the nut slots on the Bone nut, using my set of 42-09 gauge nut slot files, I took a lot of care to make sure I didn't file them too low using a .020 inch feeler gauge to check my 1St fret action, I even made sure I angled the slot back towards the headstock to ensure a good string break-angle on the fretboard edge of the nut, I still got Sitar-Buzzing issues that I couldn't fix, I tried replacing the nut twice with a Tusq nut, didn't fix it, been having a real rough time lately, what I might do is leave it for now and concentrate on other projects, like the Hackintosh PC.

I guess half my problem is that I get frustrated easily, or I have a low frustration threshold.
