My strings for the 3rd are .026

On a 1 11/16" nut I first try the same gauge as the string, and then increase with Charles' method, of working with the same file to enlarge the slot width. On a 1.75" nut I will go so far as using a 36 file for a 32 string, but I prefer to increase each nut slot by .002
