Teenycaster New Nut

Time to replace the crappy plastic nut with something better. I picked up a new TUSQ nut, removed the crappy chinesium nut (it came out in pieces lol), cleaned up the nut slot in the fretboard, sanded the nut down to get the nut slots about right, and added a couple drops of super glue to hold it in place. Easy least.

Oh no! The plastic nut broke. I chiseled out the remaining shards of it’s broken dreams.
There is a new nut in town, and she is much nicer.
The nut is too thick, so gap at the first fret is too big
Some sandpaper fixed the nut. Now the gap is mucho holder.

Next I’ll refine the nut slots with my files and redo the intonation and action.
