You can use an exacto knife to score the finish where it meets the nut…prevents cracking

I don't even use wood glue on a nut. I run the underside of it along an Elmer's glue stick. Just enough to hold the nut in place. I put a capo on it while it dries.

Thank you for sharing

[@DanaGrant]

Thanks for watching!

[@terryweingart6142]

could you provide a link to where you purchased the parts ? Thanks -- enjoyed the video. Heard these are great guitars if you get rid of the plastic.

Try fossilized tusk.

How do you size the pins? I traded my Epiphone (which looked like yours) on OrangeWood Oliver C, the OrangeWood doesn't hurt my thumb like the Epiphone. I'm an old guy with a bad thumb. My thumb is much happier with the trade. I do plan to go to Rosewood or Bone Pins soon but I like the sound and it's got plastic pins.

[@DanaGrant]

I added a link in the description to a UA-cam on how to measure the bridge pins

[@flouisbailey]

@@DanaGrant I missed that, saw the pins on your Amazon link. The OrangeWood has very thin pins, I have reamed the hole larger before on a guitar.

[@DanaGrant]

I just added it for you.@@flouisbailey

Where did you get the saddle, nut, and pin package from?

bone bridge pins

[@54tristin]

I understand the bridge , but the nut has always eluded me, it has a effect only on chords played at the top of the neck and possibly when play leadsinglenotes

[@DanaGrant]

Thanks for your comments. I think bone nut helps transfer the string vibration. I just know that for example a metal or brass nut sounds more high pitch and a bone nut sounds mellow to me and that was the tone I was going for with a blues box.
It’s a personal choice but hard to prove.

[@theofulk5636]

A hot pin reveals plastic, but you can smell it if its bone, smells like burned hair.

[@raffyzoo2130]

need bone pins.

[@DanaGrant]

Believe it or not. I spoke to a custom Guitar builder who builds guitars starting at $40,000. He said wood pins are the best to conduct sound.

[@jameslifetimelearner]

I put bone pins on a guitar to make it sound brighter, wood pins for a mellow sound of an otherwise bright guitar,depending on the frequencies that need supporting.
I have zero qualifications but tremendous opinions.

[@DanaGrant]

Thanks I was going for that mellow blues sound.@@jameslifetimelearner

You want the real deal on tone, follow Jim Lill

Elmer's glue?

[@DanaGrant]

No, It's wood glue in a Elmer's bottle. Just a smaller bottle. Easer to work with. Thanks
