I also found that the D string slot in the Knut was too deep also. So I have filled that with epoxy to recut (the A string slot has been fixed and is now all good)
So hopefully tomorrow I get a chance to cut the D slot and set up the guitar (action and intonation) then I shall be bringing some sweet, buzz free sound tests to your ears!

Never heard of filling a nut groove with epoxy before? How long will that last as I imagine the friction through tuning strings will chew it out pretty quickly.

Baking Soda and Super Glue

How about that, would never have guessed.

It was the only thing I had :/ if/when it wears through I will prob crush up some bone I have left and mix with super glue. Just wanted to get it done really :/

Know the feeling Shazz. Have had to improvise a few times too, all part of the journey/challenge.

And what a learning process it has been!

Hey ShazzRandom, I haven't had time to follow this thread in detail, but it's an amazing build diary from what I have read.

I don't know what the record is for the longest My Build Diary, but yours has to be up there. If it is the longest, we will have to see what sort of prize we can rustle up.

Can't wait to hear the guitar when you finally fire it up.
