Building a Guitar ep12 - Nut part 2-1

Making the guitar nut out from camel bone blank. My guitar project. Buying guitar parts from all over and putting them together into a nice-looking and sounding strat-like electric guitar.

No hay tanta información sobre este tema en español. So I practice English listening and reading. Thanks for your interesting videos.

u never showed u putting on the Guitar Tuners

[marcoamf1977]

true, but not a big secret. It's important to have them aligned and drill the holes in the exact place, and of course, drill the right size of holes. I drilled them too small initially, then increased since it was too tough to screw.

Often, standard slotted nuts are evenly-spaced, which seems to make sense, until you play the guitar. The bigger (E,A,D) strings need a little more space in between in order to be spaced the same as the (G, B, E) lighter strings. Personally, I'd rather get a pre-radiused nut with no slots and do the rest. The hardest part, in my opinion, is rounding the nut top to match your neck radius.

Yes, but where's the fun? Just kidding... actually I haven't searched for that option. Maybe for the next guitar.
