Re: New Custom Asian made guitar
Awesome!!
I would file the nut slots deep enough then sand down from the top of the nut so the strings are half in the slot half out and the relief between the top of the first fret and the bottom of the string when depressed around third and fourth fret is minimum. Judging by the pics you would have to take off a lot
To be fair I've had to do this on nuts that were supposedly custom cut for me by "professional" repair people. But it's worth it to get those first position chords in tune.

Looks like the nut isn't fully seated. The nut looks wider than the slot and is hanging up on the headstock side. (I'm looking at the side view close-up).
So the new lefty nut and roller bridge showed up
Had to get an acoustic bone set . It was a two pack for eight bucks.
So took out my razor knife and scored around the old righty they put in
There was a crapload of sawdust under the cover
I'm sure there's a truss rod in there somewhere
Took a rubber handled cresent wrench and a pair of side cutters as a hammer to bump it loose
Tons of super glue on the edges
But the slot looks good
Cleaned it up and buffed the edges. Then stuck her in
First with just the outside strings tight to check the height.
When the fitment was done a dab of Elmers Wood Glue.
Action on the first fret does look bad
Tomorrow when the glue has cured, I will dress the edges and fit the new bridge.
I took some measurements off my other roller bridge guitars with pretty good action.
Then preset the new bridge for the left handed intonation
Shouldn't need to do more that a tweak or two.
Should be ready tomorrow morning. We'll see
