[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi John, I love it!!! Brilliant build series. One question, Why is it called a nut? Take care John and looking forward to seeing what you make next. Cheers, Huw

[@JohnClothier]

Thank you Huw!! Good question! I had to look it up. Apparently it comes from the German word noot which means slot. so there you go, we both learnt something!

[@joebikeguy6669]

Only your third guitar? I think I remember Ben Crowe saying he built six or seven guitars before he built a good one. Really beautiful job. Good luck in the GGBO unofficial.

[@JohnClothier]

Yes it is. Thank you! It’s not great to be fair. A few things need improving but it’s playable. Thank you

[@markmilligan8773]

Great guitar bud. Looks like you've clearly been watching Ben's video for years and bought a load of crimson gear as your vids clearly match Bens. You're a credit to his teachings. Were you a student too?

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Mark. Yes I have watched Ben for years and he has been my inspiration and mentor. As a result I try and buy from Crimson when I can to show my support. Thank you! That is very kind of you. No I have never had the opportunity to be a student of his. I wish I had!

[@alanblott4559]

What about graphite in the nut.. I love Marmite and your build. Great finish, the extra copper sheet made all the difference.

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks! Graphite in the nut? Not heard of that before

[@alanblott4559]

I've seen it done, so don't quote me. Take some graphite from a pencil lead and put it into the groove before placing the string in place. Did a Google search. This is what I found. www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung&sxsrf=ALeKk01ZAHLmf-jLkgkGymnwwAe2A5a-dQ%3A1602500525731&ei=rTeEX8GYLN6BhbIPn5qf0AM&q=graphite+in+Guitar+nut&oq=graphite+in+Guitar+nut&gs_lcp=ChNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwEAMyBQgAEMkDMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBQghEKABOgQIABBHOgcIIxDqAhAnOggIABCxAxCDAToECAAQQzoFCAAQsQM6CwgAELEDEIMBEMkDOgIIAFCG9qwDWLb2rQNgoouuA2gDcAF4AYABwAGIAc4IkgEDMi43mAEAoAEBsAEPyAEIwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp#

[@JohnClothier]

Ok cool. Thank you for the link. I’ll check it out.

[@bratislavdragic3059]

Great work, not that I think I am authority to say that, just as a simple player...and I would like to slap, that one who unlike it, to reason. I am sorry I had to end my comment with this rubbish. Great guitar man.

[@JohnClothier]
