    Excellent work! Tip: the frets on Fender guitars were installed sideways until 1982. If you remove them sideways, the fretboard won't chip! And it's a pre-mid-74.

    Are you sure the 'ashtray' isn't touching the strings ever so slightly? If it is, the strings will pass their vibration on to the bridge cover, and if its not 'tight'...it will chatter. The bridge cover needs to be sufficiently far 'away' from the back end of the bridge to allow all ball-end types and sizes to fit without contacting it.

    Watts up Doc? Enjoyed the video. Nice that you left mistakes in, viewers can learn from that too. I really like the Ampmaker instructions and watching you boosts my confidence even higher. My first build. Out of curiosity, why is the zener diode in the circuit? Is that what enables the caps to drain after shutdown? I consider that a great feature, particularly for new builders.

    This was a very interesting and helpful video. I am presently needing to cut a nut for a vintage Gibson EB-O bass. The nut has worn very low over time and needs replacing. While I have 5 or 6 basses needing setting up, my priority is electric guitars. While the £75 for Hosco's is a lot, as you state and prove the Japanese tools are definitely worth a punt. Many thanks.

    The reason I use Hosco files over stewmac is because they leave a much rounder profile in my experience. They've always cut flawlessly for me. I use a different set than the ones you have here. Mine have a long blade with a little red tang on the end. I reckon they'll last quite a long while.

  • @navigator3744

    Hosco makes three different types of nut files. First : the three double edged nuts files to a set with the colored handles; Second: the longer files with the red tang; and third: the compact, black nut files which require the holder. Which set would you recommend to a non-professional who only works on his own guitars? I've read that the double-edged three files to a set files cut the slots too wide. Is that true or were they probably talking about the cheap amazon/ebay knock-offs? How are the files with the red tangs used? It seems they don't require a holder, but what about the thin files for the high "E", "B" and "G" strings? How do you use those? ?

    • @GuitarDoctorUK

      they cut a v shaped slot, but the bottom of the slot is round. after cuting the slots you'll need to re-shape the nut anyway. you dont want the string too low in the nut they will bind on the sides> half the hight of the string or a little more is perfect.
