Then sanded the top down top of the nut to match the contours of the other nut.
Rounding off the tope of the nut on the sander. Bone smells bad – real bad – when sanding. I had the vacuum going but it still smelled like burning flesh... gross.
Cut the slots for the strings in the top with scroll saw. Then finished with a scroll saw with a file in place of the blade. This didn't come out very good at all, but I know what I did wrong and can correct fro next time.
Installing the nut back on the Charvel. It looks bad but sounds so good. I meant to do the saddle too, but then realized that I purchase the wrong size blank for the Charvel. It will work perfect for the new guitar though.
I will eventually end up re-doing this but it was interesting to give it a shot and I'm glad I practiced with this guitar and not the new one.
