I'm getting ready to do my first lowering of the strings at the nut.
My old guitar tech passed away a few year ago.
I've been reading and watching videos but they all seem to leave me with the same questions. They may both be silly questions but here we go.
#1
When filing down the nut slot I have been reading about the string breaking over the nut right at the fretboard side. Also about ramping down the peg side so it is parallel to the peg board.
My question is, how wide should I leave this break point before it starts to ramp down?
#2
When filing the ramp part, do I leave it to where the string lies on this ramp or should there be some clearance?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Scott
