Achieve perfectly spaced, perpendicular nut slots every time with this precision-engineered slotting guide designed specifically for 43mm guitar nuts commonly found on Gibson Les Paul, SG, and similar instruments.
Key Features:
- Based on industry-standard 43mm nut spacing ratios for a premium, custom-shop feel with perfectly balanced string gaps
- E-A: 7.6mm
- A-D: 7.2mm
- D-G: 6.9mm
- G-B: 6.7mm
- B-e: 6.3mm
-
0.38mm Guide Slots - Precisely sized to keep files perpendicular while wide enough to accommodate common high E string files such as those from Stewmac
-
Friction-Fit Design - A simple but reliable locking mechanism helps keep the nut in place while you work on it
-
Clear String Identification - Each slot labeled E-A-D-G-B-e for foolproof positioning
-
Universal Material Compatibility - Works with bone, TUSQ, plastic, brass, and all common nut blank materials of any height or thickness
How It Works: This guide creates accurate starting cuts in your nut blank before final filing to proper depth and width. Simply slide the nut into place, insert your nut file into the slot, and make your initial guide cut. The 0.38mm slots keep your file perfectly perpendicular, preventing angled cuts that can ruin expensive nut blanks.
Perfect For:
- Luthiers and guitar techs doing professional setups
