My total cost was under $15.00
This is a sub $500.00 guitar and as far as I can tell everything is well within specs of a good setup.
I understand and admire the skills of the builders and repairmen on this forum.
But sometimes perspectives can be lacking.

The cut of a nut makes or breaks a guitar. It does not matter what the guitar cost in the first place, and cutting a nut for a cheap guitar is no easier that cutting a nut for an expensive guitar, if anything the opposite as a cheap guitar may require special considerations due to its own deficiencies. I charge a hundred bucks for a nut and it is not a profit maker, it is a highly skilled production which separates the men from the boys in our field.
