I went to check the neck/pocket for alignment, and check the scale length. The nut is in the wrong place - I looked up a fret spacing chart and all the frets are properly placed relative to each other for 629mm scale length (for my international friends) but the first fret to the nut is 312mm, short by about 2.5mm. I'll either have to cut the nut back about half its thickness, or move the nut closer to the tuning pegs and add a spacer. (Note that the bridge is locked in place, and also irrelevant to the spacing issue; I can space the neck 12-3/8" from the bridge, but the nut spacing will be closer to 24-5/8")
Have any of you had to deal with this before? Any suggestions on what looks the best?
