Making a Bone Nut From a Blank | Fixing Open String Fret Buzz
This guitar had open string fret buzz as a result of the slots being too low. This had clearly been an issue previously based on the attempted shimming.
Nut slot depth is crucial for a guitar's playability, tone, and tuning stability.
The depth of the nut slots determines the string height (action) near the first fret. If the slots are too shallow, the strings will sit too high, making it harder to press them down, especially for chords or notes near the nut. Conversely, if the slots are too deep, the strings can buzz against the frets, causing unwanted noise.
Proper slot depth ensures accurate string contact at the nut, which is essential for precise intonation. If the slots are too deep or...

Getting My Guitar to Stay in Tune | Nut Adjustment
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Месяц назад
I've been loving this guitar from @sturnerguitars, and it has been my main player since the day I got it! I was experiencing some minor tuning stability issues, so I brought it to my workshop for a quick fix. The nut can cause tuning stability issues if it doesn’t allow the strings to move smoothly. Problems like improperly sized slots, rough edges, or improper lubrication can cause strings to ...

    Great work! On the strat, I went ahead and put the adhesive tape over the pieces between the pickups (islands in your video). Since the pickguard has the foil backing, it was another way to make sure the pickguard was getting positive connection to the foil cage this builds. Have you tested a before and after? The Strat was noisy and now is dead silent on 60 cycle hum. It works!

    Really appreciate your videos. I started working on my own guitars with encouragement from a luthiers group I’m in. I had a broken nut on a telecaster and they walked me through it. That was a year and a half ago and now my middle bedroom is my guitar repair/mod lab. It’s my favorite place to be. Thanks again for sharing. Your videos are very helpful!

    I used aluminum tape for one of my guitars and it worked great. I didn't solder the additional ground wire but used the same aluminum tape itself to hold it in place. Silent. No hum or hiss at all.

    Home guitar fixer guy here and I thought I had seen every way to shape a nut but you have a couple techniques that make sense but I haven't seen before. 1) Using caliper to scribe, 2) Using razor to scribe slots, 3) Radius gage for example. Great lesson and great work! Thanks for sharing. Subscribed.

    I have a gold anodized guard on my Jazzmaster, seems to help with noise and it looks cool. IDK if you’re planning on doing it but you can layer the back of whatever pickguard you’re using. Keep up the good work!

    • @voornaam3191
      @voornaam3191 16 часов назад

      You MUST do the back of the pick guard too. That metal is literally a cage, you can afford small holes, but don't ask me when you'd start impairing that Faraday cage. A fine mesh still works. The thing is, such a lot of metal around you, connected to an electrical "zero" or earth, it keeps even lightning out. Sitting inside an oldfashioned all metal car, keeping yourself clear from the metal, that is THE way to survive a lightning storm. Even a lightning strike in the car will get the car damaged, but the people inside can stay clear from that huge amount of energy going through the metal. It won't spark inside the car. You are safe. The guitar cavities should become such a box. Copper tape is beautiful for this. Copper is a metal that conducts electricity (and heat and sound) like crazy. It really is a very special metal. When you like tinkering, making a copper nut and bridge or saddles gets you a nice resonance. No kidding.
