My first time filing nut slots
I have a few guitars whose nut slots were a little high. So, I decided to order some nut slotting files as well as this nut slotting gauge from stewmac.
This gauge makes this job such a breeze! I had a target for each nut slot height. And, each "target" left some room in case I over filed by a bit. Once I came within a few thousandths from my target, I stopped. I based my target heights on my Taylor 514ce, which to me, has perfect action at the nut. Here's where I ended up on each of the guitars I adjusted (in inches): AD17e (Before) .0285 * .022 .0165 .017 * .017 * .014 * AD17e (After) .025 .022 .0165 .0145 .013 .0105 GS Mini (Before) .032 * .032 * .030 * .025 * .025 * .025 * GS Mini (After) .026 .021 .0185 .015 .015 .0115
