How to fit and slot a nut

Beauty, eh?

And ... No, no, no. It's not mine and I didn't do it.

Sarcasm doesn't always translate well.

Looks really nice and even but the slots look really wide to me and the G looks like it could be touched up. It could be the camera angle that's throwing my eyes off though. Is that a Les Paul?

Repair guy with 40 years here..... It might be working OK, but the slots are too wide, and too much meat was left above the strings. Also - I spy shimming underneath the nut, which obviously was not necessary. If you did it - keep improving. If you paid for it, I hope it wasn't a lot.

Exactly. Was trying to be nice instead of saying something rude.

Those strings are not going to bind in the nut slots, thats for sure...

Horrible.

Done better before with a recycled piece of countertop Corian, a hacksaw, some files, and rudimentary hardware store thickness gauges
