got it strung up and set up... ...almost:
almost = the fact that the nut slots are not big enough to allow the strings to sit in them. There are slots for each string, but the 3 wound strings do not bottom out on the slot, but rather sit on the two top corners of each slot, if that makes sense.
The bone nut was a beauty that Adam sent my way that was a touch too wide to fit in the nut slot in the neck. Thanks Adam!
The customer support offered by PBG is second to none.
I had to sand the sides of the nut a bit until it just slipped in the neck.
Then I sanded the back of the nut until I got close.
As it sits right now, the frets are 0.043" tall, and the bottom of the string slots in the nut are 0.044" to 0.035" above that.
A cheap set of 'nut files' (welding tip cleaners) should get me home from here.
They're in the mail now.
I'm with you McCreed. White pearloid should be spectacular!
I am warming up to the white the more I look at it.
It might look weird with anything else after a while.
