The neck is the focal point these days. yesterday the nut slot was cut and the nut temporarily fitted....
Here is a jig applied with an angled edge to match the fret board so the the blade can run down the face and make the cut at the correct angle parallel to the end of the fretboard:
Next after a chisel was used to removed the excess wood, the nut itself is used to clean up it's new home...there is sand paper stuck to the bottom of the nut and it is slid back and forth to finish the slot and make a smooth spot for it to rest....simple. Effective.
The nut is then test fitted...Now that is Ryan in the background apparently working on another guitar which I find very hard to believe....I mean come on here, there should be only ONE guitar in that shop right????
Finished slot...the nut and sandpaper will now wait until after the neck is finished and the sandpaper will be used again to remove any unwanted finish in the slot prior to being placed for good...
As always, thanks for checking it out!
